What is the breakdown of the earths crust into sediment?
weathering
What process can change igneous rock into sediment?
erosion/weathering
As a particle of sediment in the soil breaks into several smaller pieces the rate of weathering of the sediment wll?
As a particle of sediment breaks into smaller pieces, the rate of weathering will generally increase. This is because smaller particles have a greater surface area relative to their volume, making them more susceptible to physical and chemical weathering processes. Increased exposure to environmental factors such as water, air, and temperature changes accelerates the breakdown of the sediment further. Consequently, fragmentation enhances the overall weathering process.
What occurs when sediment fall out of water or is set down by wind?
weathering
Can igneous rock be weathered to form sediment?
Yes. Any rock can be weathered to form sediment.
What rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion?
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
How does sediment from and by which process?
weathering
Where does the rivers load come from?
Sediment derived from the weathering of rocks, and run-off from the land, being washed into the water.
How do glaciers deposit sediment?
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
What processes turn sediment rock?
Weathering and erosion produces and transports sediment.
What is the breakdown of the earths crust into sediment?
weathering
What is it when sediment is hardened into sedimentary rock?
weathering
What rocks are broken down into sediment?
weathering
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
What is the main producer of sediment?
Chemical weathering is the main producer of sediment. In chemical weathering, the compounds in rock decompose into substances that are more stable in the surface nvironment.
What is the breakdown of the earth's crust into sediment called?
weathering
What can weathering do to the land?
It breaks down sediment rock
