Rocks such as sandstone which are formed from particles of other rocks are?
Sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of small particles are compressed?
The small particles are compressed under water to then form sedimentary rocks
In what ways sand rocks and soil are the same?
They are both sedimentary rocks (rocks composed of solidified sediment particle matter), the only difference is that sandstone is composed of sand-sized particles, which are bigger than the silt particles which make up siltstone.
How do rocks formed soil?
Erosion breaks rocks down into smaller particles.
Why do rocks have grains?
Grains are the particles that make up a rock and may consist of eroded particles of various sizes of other rocks or mineral crystals.
What is a type of wind erosion in which wind-blown particles scrape away the surfaces of rocks?
Abrasion
How does abrasion change the deserts suface?
Abrasionchanges the desert surfaces by cutting and polishing exposed rock surfaces.
What are some uses for rocks?
Throwing,skipping,painting,carving,polishing,
How does the hardness of rocks influence the shape of features which wind erosion can produce?
the loose particles blown by the wind may knock against other objects and cause erosion
What is it called when a rocks particles come of and make another rock from the particles?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the fragments of other rocks
Rocks such as sandstone which are formed from particles of other rocks are?
Sedimentary rocks.

Clastic sedimentary rock is composed of cemented particles of other rocks.
Rocks such as sandstone are formed from particles of other rocks are?
Sedimentary.
