Why does weathering have to happen for erosion to happen?
Weathering is the process of rocks breaking down. Erosion is what moves the broken down rocks. There are four factors wind, moving water, wind, and gravity. Without weathering there would would be nothing for the Earth to erode.
Moving water parallel to Earth's surface?
That would be a current, such as a river or ocean current.
What might happen to the rock cycle if weathering did not occur?
If weathering did not occur, the process of breaking down rocks into smaller particles would not happen. This would disrupt the cycle by limiting the supply of sediments that form sedimentary rocks. It could also impact the formation of soil and the recycling of minerals between different rock types.
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
Where are some places that chemical weathering would happen?
Chemical weathering can occur globally in various environments, including regions with high rainfall, high temperatures, and acidic conditions. Common locations for chemical weathering include tropical rainforests, coastal areas with high salt content, and areas with abundant groundwater flow. Additionally, urban areas with high levels of pollution can also experience chemical weathering processes.

What would happen to rocks without air?
they get dryno weathering
What might happen if water from a river were diverted into a pond?
plants and animale would have to adapt to the different nutrients and slow moving water
What would happen to large sediments if you were to continue moving?
if you were to continue moving the bottle for a long time what would happen to the large sediments?
Why would a river in the mountains cut a deeper valley than a river on a plain?
A river in the mountains is moving faster than a river on a plain because it is losing altitude faster. A river on a plain is still moving with gravity, but not at the same steepness. The faster the river is moving, the more sediment it is taking which would form a valley much deeper and faster.
What would happen to the amount of dissolved oxygen in the river if the river is polluted?
the amount of dissolved oxygen would decrease.
Where would we usually find the source of a river?
What does all moving water have in it

What happen to the Mississippi river during heavy rainfall?
The river would flood cities near the Mississippi River.
What would happen to houses on a river bank?
it falls lol
What might happen to organisms living fast moving river if a dam is built on the river?
the organisms would not be recieving fresh nutrients, wastes will be backed up, and many organisms not able to withstand the pressure will die
What would happen if a river was overused for irrigation?
well first of all if there is too much irrigation the river would get dirty and animals would die
