Erosion rates depend on the composition of the rocks and how they are attacked by the environment.
Different kinds of rocks have different composition and will erode at different rates.
Rocks in different places will be affected differently by wind, water, ice, rain, pollutants, etc. and so they will erode at different rates.

Method used to estimate the absolute age of a stream is to?
The absolute age of a stream can be estimated using radiometric dating of rocks found along its path. By analyzing the isotopic composition of these rocks, scientists can determine when they formed and thereby establish the age of the stream. This method allows for accurate dating of the stream's formation based on the age of the rocks in its vicinity.
How do scienistuse the rate at which radioactive elements decay on rocks?
give a irect answer ^
How does erosion affect how fast a coastline erodes?
Well, since sand is already very eroded rock a coastline would probably be affected more if the coast was rocky. The type of rock also would affect the rate of erosion. Sedimentary rock erodes faster than igneous and metamorphic im pretty sure. hope it helps.
What can determine the size of grains in igneous rocks?
Cooling rate of molten rock
The rate at which a rock in a streambed dissolves would not be increased by?
Reduce the rocks exposure
Why does a waterfall move from it original position?
As the water cascades over the top edge it erodes the rocks and they fall to the base of the cliff below. The top edge slowly moves upstream and the rate is dependent on the hardness of rocks in the river bed.

What affects the rate rocks weather?
when it is in a humid climate
What is a factor that controls grain size in igneos rocks?
Crystal size in igneous rocks is controlled by the rate of cooling whereby the slower the rate, the larger the size of crystal.
What determines the rate at which rocks weather '?
The rate at which rocks weather is determined by factors such as the type of rock, climate (temperature and precipitation), presence of vegetation, and human activities. Rocks that are more susceptible to chemical and physical breakdown will weather faster compared to more resistant rocks.

What are types of extrusive igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks are igneous rocks that form above earth's surface. They are usually fine-grained due to the rate in which they cool.
Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate at which rocks weather?
Water has the greatest effect on the rate at which rocks weather, as it can cause physical and chemical weathering processes to occur more rapidly. Water can dissolve minerals within rocks, increase their susceptibility to erosion, and facilitate the growth of vegetation that can further break down rocks.
Why do igneous rocks that have the same composition sometimes have different sizes of mineral grains?
This is as a result of difference in the rate of cooling of the Igneous rocks.
Can rocks stretch?
Rocks can stretch if you apply the force over a long time and the deformation occurs at a very slow strain rate.
