What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
When do sediments form during the rock cycle?
Sediments form during the erosion and weathering processes that break down rocks into smaller particles. These sediments may then undergo deposition and compaction to form sedimentary rocks in the rock cycle.
Does weathering break rocks down?
Yes
How rocks from a cliff can be broken down to become sand?
Erosion is the main force that acts on rocks to break them down into sand. Water getting into cracks, freezing and expanding also helps to break down rocks.
Does chemical weathering cause a break down in the color and size of rocks?
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
What is a feature created by deposition?
Sediments are created by deposition.They may further consolidate into sedimentary rocks.
What can weathering and erosion do?
weathering can break down rocks into sediments then erosion carries the sediments from one place to another. Last but not least deposition lies all the sediments down
Can a sedimentary rock be formed from lava or magma?
Yes but it must be done through weathering and erosion to break down those rocks and then deposition and finally cementation
Is erosion occurs when the rocks breaks down?
Yes, erosion occurs when something like a rock and a wave break it down over time.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
Which force does not break down rocks in nature?
Magnetic force does not break down rocks in nature. Rocks are typically broken down by mechanical weathering (e.g. frost wedging, root growth) and chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, dissolution).
Rocks break down to?
soil
When do sediments form during the rock cycle?
Sediments form during the erosion and weathering processes that break down rocks into smaller particles. These sediments may then undergo deposition and compaction to form sedimentary rocks in the rock cycle.
What is a product of weathering and erosion rocks?
Sediment is a common product of weathering and erosion of rocks. As rocks break down into smaller pieces through these processes, they can be transported and deposited as sediment in different locations. Over time, this sediment can become compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
How does hurricane affect erosion and deposition?
In a hurricane, the rocks that are hard get broken down so erosion takes the rocks away to another place. Deposition is when the settling of soil and rocks so deposition is when the broken rocks get settled down into the ground or break down further and become sand.
What rocks are formed by erosion and deposition?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by erosion (breaking down of rocks and minerals) and deposition (settlement of particles). Examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks are typically found near bodies of water or in places where sediment accumulates over time.
What types of rocks initially form from deposition?
Sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and compaction of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. These rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
