Why does rock tend to become rounded?
A lot of rocks have sat in water at one time or another, and flowing water erodes minerals, giving rocks a smooth, rounded shape over time.
What causes rocks to be smooth and rounded?
tumbling against other rocks and sand, either in a stream or in a rock tumbler.
Why do you find smooth rounded rocks at the sea shore and the rivers?
Sediment carried by the river acts as an abrasive against the rocks on the bottom of the river. Rocks are also continually bounced into each other, which also serves to gradually knock off rough edges, making them smoother and rounder.
Which two rocks are made from rounded grains?
Rocks that are composed of rounded grains or fragments are usually sedimentary rocks. Two of these are sandstone and conglomerate rocks.
Why are the rocks and stones found on pebble beaches usually rounded and smooth?
Because the tides act as a rock tumbler, it slowly smooths them out.More Information:Rocks found on beaches can be smooth for various reasons. The most common is that the washing motion of the waves erodes the sharp corners off over time by knocking little bits of sand and clay into them.Rocks along beaches can also be smooth if they happened to be deposited by glaciers. Rocks brought to a location because of the moving of glaciers long ago are rounded by tumbling around in front of the glaciers.

Why do many rocks become rounded?
Erosion and weathering will cause rocks to become rounded.
What were the smooth rounded rocks that helped dinosaurs digest and grind their food?
rocks are called gastroliths
When rocks are compressed do they fragment and become jagged or rounded?
They fragment and become jagged, they become rounded by means of water erosion, which is why rounded rocks are found by rivers, creeks, etc.
When water moves on top of rocks what do the rocks become?
Erosion causes them to become smooth from wear.
What causes rocks to be smooth and rounded?

How do rocks on the beach become smooth?

What happens to rocks when they are carried by a stream?
They become smooth and oval shaped, because the rushing water erodes the rock fragment/s.
What happens to the Shape of rocks after abrasion?
Rocks usually start off as angular objects with edges and corners. After abrasion the edges and corners get removed and the rocks end up smooth and more rounded, they also get smaller.
Are the rocks in cape cod smooth?
why are most of rocks extremely smooth
Why do the rocks located in stream beds are smooth?
Rocks in stream beds can become smooth due to a process called abrasion. As water flows over the rocks, it carries sediment and particles that constantly rub against the rocks, wearing them down and making them smooth over time. The friction caused by the movement of water and sediment helps polish the surface of the rocks.
When a pebble stays in water for long does it become smooth or rough?
it will become rough because it scraped against the other rocks wearing it away
