Because the weather is so strong that it comes directly to the rock and then day by day when the weather becomes horrible then it blews many things like that the wind and weather make it a round edge....

After a rock is rounded how does weathering affect it?
it gets smaller
What process causes a rock with sharp edges to have rounded edges?
Abrasion
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 kind of weathering of rock has rough edges smoothed by waves crashing against it?
physical
A sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments with rounded edges is called?
congolmerate
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.

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.

Abrasion
What part of a rock does weathering attack most rapidly?
The most rapid weathering occurs at the sharp edges and corners of rock.
What is the gradual rounding of the corners and edges of a rock is called?
Mechanical weathering!!

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.
