What else can I help you with?
Wind mostly erodes pieces of rock that are the size of what particles or smaller?
The wind erodes rocks by battering other small rock particles against them, like the action of sandblasting.
Are rocks formed when magma erodes?
No, rocks are not formed when magma erodes. Rocks are typically formed when magma cools and solidifies underground or on the Earth's surface. Erosion is the wearing away of rocks and minerals by wind, water, or ice over time.
Do big grains erode faster or small grains?
Small grains erode faster than big grains because small grains have a larger surface area relative to their volume, allowing more contact with flowing water or wind that can wear them away more quickly. Additionally, small grains are often lighter and more easily transported by wind or water, further contributing to their erosion.
What role does wind water or ice play in making a canyon?
Wind, water, and ice all contribute to the formation of canyons through erosion. Wind erodes rock surfaces by carrying abrasive particles that wear away the rock over time. Water, in the form of rivers or streams, carries sediment and erodes the canyon walls as it flows through, creating deeper channels. Ice, through processes like freeze-thaw cycles, can cause rock fractures to widen and break apart, further shaping the canyon.
Can ocean waves move faster than wind?
No, ocean waves cannot move faster than the wind that generates them. Waves are a result of the energy transferred from the wind to the water's surface, so they generally travel at a speed proportional to the wind speed.
What erodes hillsides the fastest?
Wind and water
What force can weather a rock the least wind water or ice?
wind because it slowly erodes it.
Explain why water erodes earth's surface more than wind does?
n
What is the most common force that erodes the land is?
Wind, water and chemical reactions.
What are the 3 active agents of erosion?
The three main agents of erosion are water, wind, and glaciers. Water erodes through processes like rivers and waves, wind erodes through abrasion and deflation, and glaciers erode through plucking and abrasion.
Which erodes faster fast or slow moving water in a river?
Fast moving water will erode faster because it is more powerful than slow moving water.
What soil erodes faster sand or clay?
Sand tends to erode faster than clay because it has larger particles that are easily carried away by water or wind. Clay particles are smaller and more tightly packed together, making them more resistant to erosion.
What are the effect of wind erosoin?
i don't know exactly but wind erodes rock
How does wind cause beaches to erode?
the wind whips at the sand and rocks and erodes them
The faster the river flows the more it has?
the faster the river flows the more it erodes.
What is the process by which wind erodes sediments from the surface?
Deflation...
Describe how wind erodes the land?
Wind erodes the land by picking up and moving particles such as sand and silt. As the wind blows over the land, it can carry these particles, causing abrasion and wearing down rocks and soil over time. This process can create features like sand dunes and rock formations.
