No. Although the movement of rocks may assist in their reduction in size, the weathering that occurs will tend to produce rounded edges.

How do weathering and erosion create or change landforms?

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments or ion in solution. Erosion is the removal of that material away from its source. Weathering and erosion are responsible for the unique landforms on Earth's surface. Every "cool" vacation spot out west was most likely created by weathering and erosion. Bryce National Park, Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, etc. In order for erosion to occur, you must have a transporting medium, e.g. water, wind, glacial ice.


What do waves make when they break rock into small pieces?

Waves breaking against rocks can cause hydraulic action, where the force of the water compresses and weakens the rock, leading to its eventual breakdown into smaller pieces through erosion and abrasion.


Which type of land suffers the most from wind erosion?

Dry and loose soil, such as in deserts and arid regions, is most susceptible to wind erosion. Lack of vegetation and dry conditions make the soil more vulnerable to being picked up and carried away by wind.


How are mesas formed?

Mesas are formed through a combination of geological processes such as erosion, sedimentation, and uplift. The flat top of a mesa is the result of horizontal layers of sedimentary rock that have been uplifted, while the steep sides are shaped by erosion from water and wind. Over time, differential erosion wears away the softer rock layers, leaving behind the characteristic flat-topped plateau.


Are weathering and erosion catastrophic events?

No, most of them are slow and not that harsh events which make the rock older and older. In other cases some catastrophic events make erosion become faster. Erosion is a slow process in which the rock becomes worned out. Weathering is the weather which erodes the rocks slowly.

Why do erosion make beaches smaller?

Because erosion takes away sands, erosion can happen in many different ways (ex: water and wind) winds can blow away the sand.


How erosion helps?

Erosion is helpful because it helps make beaches, sand dunes, and deltas. Erosion does not make these landforms, deposition does, but erosion links with deposition. Erosion is also damaging because it washes away soil and clogs waterways

How do you make a six piece square with tangrams?

To make a six-piece square with tangrams, start by using the seven standard tangram pieces: two large triangles, one medium triangle, two small triangles, one square, and one parallelogram. Arrange these pieces to form a larger square by positioning the triangles and square to fill in the corners and the center. The parallelogram can be placed to fit into the remaining space, ensuring that all pieces create a cohesive square shape. Adjust the angles and sides of the pieces as needed to achieve a seamless fit.


What does erosion make?

Erosion is the process of wearing away and moving rock or soil. It can create various landforms such as canyons, valleys, and beaches as its forces shape the Earth's surface over time.
