What else can I help you with?
What is the slow process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces is called what?
The slow process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces is called weathering. This can happen through various mechanisms like physical weathering (e.g. freezing and thawing, root wedging) or chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, hydrolysis).
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces called sediments?
The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces is called weathering. Weathering can be physical, through processes like freeze-thaw cycles or root wedging, or chemical, involving the dissolution of minerals in water or oxidation. The resulting smaller pieces, called sediments, can then be transported and deposited by various agents such as water, wind, or ice to form sedimentary rocks.
Weathering turns what into what?
rocks; soil
What is the process known as where rock breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces?
The process you are referring to is called weathering. It can occur through physical (mechanical) processes such as freezing and thawing, or chemical processes like oxidation or carbonation, resulting in the breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments.
What process breaks solid rock into smaller pieces?
Weathering and erosion breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
What breaks down rocks into smaller pieces?
erosion
What breaks rocks into smaller and smaller pieces?
Rocks erode from mainly wind and water over time.
What is the slow process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces is called what?
The slow process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces is called weathering. This can happen through various mechanisms like physical weathering (e.g. freezing and thawing, root wedging) or chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, hydrolysis).
Soil is formed from blank?
Soil is formed from rocks. When weathering breaks down rocks into smaller and smaller pieces you will get soil. This process takes thousands and thousands of years.
What are smaller pieces or rocks and minerals called when eroded?
Sediments
When rocks are eroded they break down into smaller pieces of minerals and rocks called what?
Sediment.
What process breaks rocks down into smaller pieces?
The process called weathering is responsible for the breaking up and wearing away of the Earth's rocks. The broken up rocks are then carried away by the process of erosion.
What Is the process of breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces?
It is actually called weathering, but if your talking about the process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces by physical means it is called Mechanical Weathering, by chemical means it is called Chemical Weathering.
Why does most weather occur?
weather changes occur in a slow process. weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What is the cycle called when freezing and thawing breaks rocks apart?
The cycle is called frost weathering or freeze-thaw weathering. It occurs when water freezes in the cracks of rocks, expands, and breaks them apart as it thaws. Over time, this process can contribute to the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces.
