Wind, rain and ice are the three main causes of erosion. Sand carried on the wind acts like sandpaper; rain penetrating into cracks can, on freezing and expanding, split rocks into smaller pieces. Rivers and streams also contribute to erosion.

What is the process of wearing away rocks by natural processes?
Erosion
What is the geological process?
The modification of geological features by natural processes.
What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
The processes found at convergent boundary that help in the formation of rocks are subduction zones. Igneous rocks form around convergent boundaries.
What can turn big rocks to small rocks into sand particles?
Weathering. It is a set of processes that break solid rocks into fragments.
What erosional processes modify marine structures?
becuse the rocks smash againt oter rocks
What is the process of wearing away rocks by natural processes?
Erosion
What are naturally occurring physical and ecological processes?
Evaporation of water, melting of rocks in volcanoes, melting of ice etc. are natural physical processes.
What is the geological process?
The modification of geological features by natural processes.
When are rocks and land moved?
This happens during road building, mining and by natural processes such as landslides and earthquakes.
Can you find fossils in the soil?
This is extremely unlikely, as the processes which break down rocks to produce soil would destroy the fossil (which is also rock).
What effect does erosion sea cliffs have on other processes and natural features?
The sea softens up the rocks and the rocks break up and fall down to the ground.
If you find rocks you are called?
Well, I don't know of a title for someone just finding rocks. However if you devote your life to the study of the earth and its natural processes you are called a geologist.
Why are there rocks on the moon that are older that any rocks on earth?
There is no geologic activity or weathering on the moon to break rocks down, so most of the rocks on the moon are nearly as old as the moon itself. Earth is geologically active and has processes that will destroy and recycle rocks. None of the rocks that made up Earth's original surface are still intact.

Can lava rocks destroy a whole town?
Lava is a liquid, not rocks.
Why is it rare to fine fossils in metamorphic rocks?
Fossils abound in sedimentary rock, you are in fact very likely to find them there.
