What else can I help you with?
A rock is stuck deep in dirt when you pull on the rock to remove it what type of force are you exerting?
You are exerting a pulling force known as tension to remove the rock from the dirt.
What are bits of rock and dirt deposited by a river?
Sediments such as pebbles, sand, and silt that are carried and eventually deposited by a river are known as alluvium. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and form features like riverbanks, floodplains, and deltas.
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together through processes like compaction and cementation. This type of rock typically forms at or near the Earth's surface through the accumulation and solidification of sediments.
What is the type of Rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together?
The type of rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together is called sedimentary rock. This process involves the accumulation and compaction of sediments over time, which solidify to form sedimentary rocks.
What is rock called that is formed from bits of rocky material that settles to the bottom of rivers lakes and oceans?
Clastic sedimentary rock is sedimentary rock that is formed from rock particles.
What do you call bits of rock and dirt on river bottoms?
silt
What do most soils begin as?
They start as tiny bits of rock and turn to dirt with nutrients.
What does weathering and erosion do to dirt?
Dirt is a laymans term for anything that isn't a rock really isn't it!
What is the main material in soil?
dirt. Usually a mixture of sand and clay and what not. basically bits of microscopic rock fragments.
What is the main material in a soil?

Why do archaeologists screen dirt?
To separate out the interesting bits.
Is dried mud a rock?
maybe because it is wet dirt and dirt is made up of little pieces of rock
How can tell igneous and metamorphic rocks apart?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma. This forms a rock that is uniform in composition, and sometimes contains air pocketed texture from the process of cooling. Sedimentary rock is formed of small bits of dirt and stone that bind together after they settle as sediment. This rock is usually distinguishable by the flecks of different types of rock and dirt. Metamorphic rock is any type of rock that is transformed by heat, pressure, or chemical changes. It often becomes denser and smoother than the rock from which it changed.

What are bits of rock called?
sediments
Which rocks could form when existing bits of rock stick together?
If existing bits of rock become attached through the process of lithification, a clastic sedimentary rock is formed.
