Which is harder sandstone shale or limestone?

"The two basic rocks found in the Mammoth Cave area are limestone and sandstone. Limestone is the "soft" rock (more water soluble) that is dissolved more easily by water. Sandstone and shale are the rocks that are on top of the cave. They are "harder" (less water soluble) and don't let the water soak into the cave." http://www.nps.gov/archive/maca/learnhome/cur_k3_cla.htm


What is erosion and deposition?

An example of erosion is if let's say that there was a river on top of a mountain. As time passes by, the water will rub against the rocks and it will rub against it so much that it will go through the rocks and then it will end up splitting through the mountain. An example of deposition is if let's say there is a river. As rocks and dirt fall into the water the river will carry the rocks and dirt down into an ocean or sea, and that will drop off the dirt somewhere else and so on.


Why do sedimentary rocks wear away faster than others?

Sedimentary rocks tend to erode easily compared to other types of rocks as the grains within them are farther apart than the "grains" in, let's say, igneous rocks. As a result of this, the "grains" can be easily crumble. An example of this is sand.


A natural force that cause rocks to fall or roll downhill?
