Height differences at the surface are eventually flattened. The pieces get smaller and smaller until water and wind carry them away. Eventually they may become sedimentary rock.

How do rocks get made over again and again?

well its called weathering whenever wind or water makes a mountain smooth and some of the peices go to the ground.then erosion comes and it is the water or wind taking sand silt and sediment (tiny peices of rock and dirt) to a new place.then deposition is dropping the sand silt and sediment and it is forming into a rock and this happens all over again like a cycle or something


What is the process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces explain 2?

One process is physical weathering, where rocks are broken down by mechanical forces like freezing and thawing, or by abrasion from wind and water. Another process is chemical weathering, which involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions such as oxidation or hydrolysis. Both processes contribute to the gradual breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces over time.

What is the source of a sediment?

Sediments are sourced from the weathering and erosion of rocks, minerals, and organic materials on Earth's surface. These materials are transported by water, wind, or ice, and eventually settle and accumulate in layers to form sedimentary rocks.
