What is carrying rock fragments to a new location called?
Rock or soil "transport".
What is the most common means of transporting weathered rock fragments down slopes?
Falling and creeping are the most common means through which weathered rock fragments move down a slope. Rocks break down as they weather.
What is the Movement of fragments of rock?
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.
Why don't rock fragments follow the same path in the rock cycle?
the rock would be molted down if they were all the same
What are rock fragments that are squeezed together?
Clastic Rock- a sedimentary rock forms when rock fragments are squeezed together.

Does erosion break down rock into fragments where as weathering transports those fragments?
No:Weathering is the wearing away/breaking down of rock into fragments IN SITUErosion is the wearing AND TAKING AWAY of materialAlso note that the transportation of fragments is just transportation, so don't bother searching for a fancy term for it.

Clastic Rock- a sedimentary rock forms when rock fragments are squeezed together.
What is the name for weathered rock fragments?
Weathered rock fragments are known as sediment.
Which step in the rock cycle occurs before sediments are laid down?
The step right before is when erosion breaks down rock.
Where does erosion generally move rock fragments?
Erosion is the removal of solids. This movement can be caused by wind, water, ice, or gravity. There is not a general location for erosion to move rock fragments. Although most erosion moves rock fragments to a lower location in regards to elevation. Although with wind erosion it can be in the direction of a constant wind force.
