The rate at which rocks abrade in running water is influenced by several factors, including the velocity of the water flow, the size and hardness of the rocks, and the presence of sediment and other materials in the water. Faster-flowing water can increase abrasion by carrying more particles that collide with rocks. Additionally, larger and harder rocks tend to resist abrasion more effectively, while softer or smaller rocks may wear away more quickly. The composition and concentration of sediments can also enhance or diminish the abrasion process.
It erodes them.
The more the water brushes against the more the rock fades away meaning that parts of the rock is eroded ,washes away, it changes formation.
Running on rocks
Plants and animals are the biotic (living) factors and soil, sand, gravel, rocks and water are abiotic (nonliving) factors.
Nonliving (abiotic) factors include:soilsandgravelrockswatersunlight
Factors such as the speed of the water, the size and shape of the rocks, the amount of sediment in the water, and the duration of exposure to water all affect the rate at which rocks abrade in running water. Typically, faster-moving water and a higher concentration of sediment will cause rocks to abrade more quickly.
Other rocks or minerals can also abrade rocks. For example, the movement of glaciers can cause rocks to scrape against each other, leading to abrasion. Additionally, the force of flowing water in rivers or waves along coastlines can help to abrade rocks.

Well that really depends on a lot of different factors. For example, limestone or marble will abrade extremely quickly in a wet environment where it is exposed to rain but in a place that is dry (like Egypt) limestone (the stuff the pyramids are made out of) will last for thousands of years. If you are talking about a "type of rock" as in the standard, igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic classes, I would say sedimentary rocks will abrade faster as they are much weaker. If you want a name of a specific rock, in general, softer rocks will abrade faster than harder rocks. You measure the hardness of a rock (or of anything really) on the "Mohs Scale". Diamond is considered the hardest at a 10 on the Mohs Scale and the softest rock of all the rocks, scoring a mere 1 on the Mohs Scale, is Talc. So talk can be abraded by even your fingernail.
The three factors that affect weathering are mechanical weathering (physical breakdown of rocks), chemical weathering (chemical changes in rocks), and biological weathering (weathering caused by living organisms).
Running on the Rocks was created in 1986.
Factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering include temperature fluctuations, presence of water, wind intensity, type of rock or mineral composition, and presence of vegetation or organisms that can contribute to physical breakdown of rocks.
Two factors that contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks are pressure and temperature.
Temperature and pressure are two key factors that affect rocks in the Earth's crust. These conditions can cause rocks to undergo changes such as metamorphism, melting, or deformation, leading to the formation of different types of rocks. Additionally, the presence of fluids and mineral compositions also play a significant role in influencing the properties of rocks in the crust.
Abiotic factors affect organisms in an organism by Component, nonliving items, such as rocks. Also, physical elements such as temperature, weathering, etc.
well sonny with a chance rocks my pants to a flying cocoroach on my hawaiian smoothe
the rocks is wet
