erosion
The river will break down rock into sediment through the process of erosion, which involves the mechanical wearing away of rock by the force of the flowing water and the chemical breakdown of rock through processes like weathering. These processes result in the transportation of sediment downstream where it can be deposited in a new location.
The process involved in breaking down solid rock into sediment is called weathering. Weathering can occur through physical (mechanical) processes such as abrasion and frost wedging, as well as chemical processes such as dissolution and oxidation. These processes help to break down the rock into smaller particles, eventually forming sediment.
Metamorphic rock transforms into sediment through a process called weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller particles, while erosion transports these particles away through agents like water, wind, or ice. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and may undergo further compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock.
Before a rock layer can be deposited, the area must undergo erosion and weathering. This breaks down existing rocks into sediment which can then be transported and deposited in a new location. The process of deposition occurs when the sediment settles into a new location and forms a layer over time.
it turns into sediment
It breaks down sediment rock
It breaks down rock, creating sediment
When sediment is laid down, this is known as deposition. The sediment is unconsolidated and so it is not (yet) a rock.
The Metamorphic Rock must undergo a process called Weathering and Erosion. Once it has become sediments it goes under another process called Cementing and Compacting. Now it has become a sedimentary rock. Trust Point me if this helped! Thanks!
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
its called weathering, or erosion
Igneous rock can become sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion, where the igneous rock breaks down into smaller pieces called sediment. These sediments are then transported by water, wind, or ice, and eventually get deposited and compacted to form sedimentary rock through the processes of lithification.
Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
Wind and water.
erosion
False. Erosion is the process of wearing away or removing soil and rock. The process of laying down sediment in a new location is deposition.
