∙ 9y agoThe rock cycle is when rocks are constantly being formed, worn down, and then formed again. It takes thousands and millions of years for rocks to change.

When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What is the process in which eroded pieces of rock are left in a new place called?
Erosion is the process in which eroded pieces of rock are left in a new place. Rock is removed from the earth's surface due to natural causes such as wind or water flow.
The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means?
The process of the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces by physical means is called mechanical weathering.
What is it called when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces called sediments?
sedimentation
What is the slow process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces is called what?
weathering
What are smaller pieces or rocks and minerals called when eroded?
Sediments
When rocks are eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rock and minerals called?
Sediment.
When rocks are eroded they break down into smaller pieces of minerals and rocks called what?
Sediment.
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What are earth materials that cannot be broken into smaller pieces called?
minerals
What is the process in which eroded pieces of rock are left in a new place called?
Erosion is the process in which eroded pieces of rock are left in a new place. Rock is removed from the earth's surface due to natural causes such as wind or water flow.
Is a rock being eroded by the wind a physical change?
Yes, a rock being eroded by wind is just being broken down into smaller pieces. The chemical constituents of the rock remain the same.
What do mechanical and chemical weathering have in common?
What mechanical and chemical weathering have in common is they both break rocks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the weathered rock will be eroded.
When a minerals break into jagged pieces it is called?
fracture
What forms when rocks are weathered and eroded?
Sediment is formed when rocks are eroded or weathered in water. When the process occurs on land, the smaller pieces of rock mix with organic matter (plant, animal or spoor), and eventually become soil.
Is sand a plant?
No, according to me, sand is rocks that have been eroded into smaller pieces similar to sediment so in other words, sand is a form of sediment.
When weathering grinding wind ice and water break rocks down into smaller pieces what are the smaller pieces called?
Sediment
