After a rock is rounded how does weathering affect it?
Weathering can continue to affect the rounded rock by breaking it down into smaller pieces through processes such as mechanical weathering (e.g., erosion by wind and water) and chemical weathering (e.g., acidic rain dissolving minerals). Over time, the rounded rock can be further worn down and its surface features changed by these weathering processes.
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. == ==
What is A sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments with rounded edges is called?
A sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments with rounded edges is called a conglomerate. This type of rock typically forms from the accumulation of rounded pebbles or boulders that have been deposited and cemented together over time.
Why does a rock tend to become rounded?
Weathering, which is breaking of rock into smaller pieces, works to round exposed edges of rock by chemical weathering from naturally acidic rainfall and through physical weathering such as particle abrasion and rock tumbling due to the transport of material by wind, water, ice, and gravity (erosion).

What is the gradual rounding of the corners and edges of angular blocks of rock?
The gradual rounding of the corners and edges of angular blocks of rock is called weathering. Weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller pieces over time due to exposure to the elements, such as wind, water, and temperature changes. This process causes the sharp edges and corners of rocks to become smoother and rounded.
How does weathering affect a rock after a rock is rounded?
Pinche puta !
Does erosion wear away rock and makes them square?
No. Although the movement of rocks may assist in their reduction in size, the weathering that occurs will tend to produce rounded edges.

Whats spheroidal weathering?
Water enters through the joints in a rock. It weathers the corner and edges most rapidly. The rock has a greater surface area than the faces have. As a result the corners and edges become rounded almost as a spherical shape.
