There are rocks which are known as weathered alteration rocks. But generally weathering leads to erosion. This eroded rock is called sediment, which can eventually form into sedimentary rocks.

What kind of rock would weather the fastest?

Sedimentary rocks are probably most vulnerable to weathering because they are formed from cemented (sometimes loosely) particles of other rocks.


Which family of rock is formed from weathering?

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks. This process involves the breakdown of rocks into small particles that are then compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, shale, and limestone.

What rocks are caused by weathering?

Some rocks commonly formed by weathering include sandstone, shale, and limestone. Sandstone is formed from the accumulation of sand grains cemented together, shale from the compaction of mud and clay, and limestone from the precipitation of calcium carbonate. These rocks can be broken down and altered by various weathering processes such as mechanical, chemical, and biological weathering.

How soil are formed from rocks?
