How can water wear away solid rock?

The water can be chemically attacking the minerals contained in the rock, or be the medium which carries abrasive rock particles which weather solid rock. The power of moving water can tumble rocks into each other, rounding them and reducing their size, in the same principle as a rock tumbler. Crashing waves can pound into rock cliffs, reducing them to rubble, where they can be further weathered by the previously mentioned water effects. Pressures caused by freezing and thawing water in rock fissures will also reduce rock size.


How does a condensing tumbler drier work?

A condensing tumbler dryer works by circulating hot air through the clothes to evaporate moisture. The moist air is then cooled down, causing the moisture to condense into water, which is collected in a separate container or drained out. The dry air is reheated and circulated back through the drum to continue the drying process.
