Best Answer

Boulders fracture into large rocks. Ice, thawing, and wind break apart the rock even more until it is sediment. Sediment gets picks up by streams and rivers. As sediment is compacted, it again begins to form rock.

Interesting fact: Sediment from the Appalachian Mountains in the east have been found in cliff faces of the Rocky Mountains in the west, carried there by streams and rivers.
