Sawing and grinding action of rock fragments in water refers to the process where water transports loose rock fragments downstream, causing them to collide and rub against each other. This interaction results in the abrasion and wearing down of the rock fragments, eventually leading to their smoothing and rounding as they continue to be transported by the flowing water.

What does corrosion mean in geography?
corrasion is the grinding of rock fragments carried by the river against the banks and bed of the channel. this grinding action widens and deepens the channel. this is also known as abrasion. it is particularly effective during floods when large fragments of rock are carried along the river bed eroding the bed and banks
Where does erosion generally move rock fragments?
Erosion is the removal of solids. This movement can be caused by wind, water, ice, or gravity. There is not a general location for erosion to move rock fragments. Although most erosion moves rock fragments to a lower location in regards to elevation. Although with wind erosion it can be in the direction of a constant wind force.
How can you describe a process by which a stream can erode its streamed?
A stream can erode its streambed through the processes of abrasion, where sediments carried by the water wear down the bedrock through friction; corrasion, where stones and rocks carried by the water crash into the bedrock; and hydraulic action, where the force of the water itself dislodges and transports sediment. Over time, these processes can deepen and widen the stream channel.
When held in suspension in glacial streams and lakes the refraction of light by makes the water appear blue?
The suspended material is rock-flour - very fine particles arising from the grinding action of rock-on-rock under the moving glacier. Do not drink it!
Why might grinding up an antacid tablet make is dissolve in acid faster?
The surface area increase by grinding and the possibility of contact of water molecules with the material of course is higher.
When sawing and grinding actions of rock fragments in the water is called?
abrasion

What renewable energy sources have humans used for thousands of years?
Water: For driving mills and pumps (grinding corn, sawing wood, pumping water).Wind: Windmills (same as for Water), Sailing ships, Drying clothes.Sun: Growing crops, keeping warm, Drying food (fish, meat, fruit) and clothes.
What are some early uses of water energy?
Some early uses of water energy include powering water wheels for grinding grain and sawing wood in ancient times, operating bellows for furnaces in medieval iron production, and propelling ships through the use of water currents and tides.
Did the invention of water mills for grinding grain occured in the qin dynasty?
The invention of water mills for grinding grain occured in the Han dynasty.
Your water pump is making grinding noise in 2001 dodge caravan?
The pump will need replaced if it is grinding.
The agent of mechanical weathering in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of other rock paricles is called?
The agent of mechanical weathering in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of other rock particles is called "abrasion." This process typically occurs in environments where rocks are constantly moved by wind, water, or ice, causing them to collide and wear each other down over time.
How did rocks becoming sand?
mostly by grinding one on another, but other mechanisms can be resposible. This grinding can be done by the rivers water movingdown pieces or rocks, or the wind eroding cliffs, but it also can be a biological action of some plants or algae, some animals can also participate (mostly colonial insects like ants or termits)
