False. The type of rock being weathered significantly influences the characteristics of the soil formed. Different rocks contain varying minerals, which affect soil composition, nutrient availability, and drainage properties. Therefore, the weathering of specific rock types directly impacts the soil's physical and chemical properties.
No
The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil form one place to another is called (EROSION)
sedimentary
No. Magma is molten rock underground.

No
True. Erosion is the process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another through the action of water, wind, ice, or other external agents.
It is false that the loose material on Earth's surface that contains weathered rock particles and humus is bedrock. The loose weathered material on Earth's surface in which plates can grow is soil.
Weathered rock can be moved by processes such as erosion, gravity, wind, water, and ice. These processes can transport the smaller pieces of weathered rock, known as sediment, to different locations where they can accumulate and form new geological features like sedimentary deposits or landforms.
things that erode weathered rock
Solid rock is being weathered into soil in the parent material layer or C horizon of the soil profile. This is where the physical and chemical breakdown of the rock material occurs, leading to the formation of soil.
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
By being first weathered into loose material (clast), then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated.
A weathered rock is usually smooth and broken down from erosion over time. A rock that is not weathered is usually rough, with jagged edges. NB: A lot depends on the type of rock.
Some examples of weathered rock inculde the Grand Canyon and Devil's tower.
The process of weathered rock being moved away by water, wind, and ice is called erosion. This natural process involves the wearing down and transport of rock and soil particles from one location to another.
Unweathered rock.
