Has weathering occurred on stone mountain?

Yes, weathering has occurred on Stone Mountain.

This can result in the formation of cracks, crevices, and other surface features on the mountain.


What processes create a rounded and smooth rock?

== == Weathering and erosion. Weathering causes rock to break into smaller particles. When these particles are transported by wind, water, or ice, the jagged edges from fracture are gradually worn down from abrasion with other particles, making the outer surface appear relatively smooth. Sometimes the mere abrasive effects of windblown particles on a rock will smooth the exposed surface, leaving the remainder of the rock jagged. Rounded and smoothed stones, if rounded and smoothed on all sides, are usually the product of tumbling. Tumbling is usually accomplished by transportation of the stone by water and contact with other rocks. == ==
