What else can I help you with?
Which physical change takes place when an igneous rock turns into a sedimentary rock?
Erosion, transportation of the eroded material, deposition of this material then lithification.
A valley eroded by a glacier is usually what shape?
Glacially eroded valleys are normally U-shaped.
What does transport network in geography mean?
Transportation is a term used for the movement of sediments via transporting agents such as water, wind, ice and even gravity. Transportation is evident in rivers and streams where you can find pebbles of rock some of which might be perfectly spherical and others not quite spherical but round. Such round shapes are the result of transportation which causes attrition of rocks by hitting other rocks or materials, for example, in rivers, breaking bits off to form round shapes as supposed to angular shapes which are predominant in rocks which are freshly eroded.
Difference between erosion and transportation?
Erosion refers to the process wherein soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere. Transportation, meanwhile, refers to the processes by which sediments or other substances are moved along.
What is an old eroded mountain called?
An old eroded mountain is often called a "mountain range" or a "plateau." Over time, weathering and erosion can wear down the peaks and create a flatter, more level surface.
What process changes sedimentary rock into igneous rock?
Physical and chemical erosion/weathering, followed by transport and finally sedimentation. Transport is not always occuring, it is possible that eroded particles are sedimentated in situ. Also, it is higly likely that during transportation, eroded particles are even further significantly eroded/weathered. For example, when a boulder is transported downstream, it's roundness increases with time/distance travelled.
What are two different things that move eroded materials?
Two different things that move eroded materials are water, such as rivers and streams, and wind. Water carries sediment and eroded materials downstream or deposits them along shorelines, while wind can transport smaller particles like sand and dust over long distances.

Erosion, transportation of the eroded material, deposition of this material then lithification.

What is a sedimentry rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are those formed from the accumulation and cementation of other rocks and eroded rock particles usually, but not necessarily, after transportation by means of water.
When a rock is weathered or eroded it becomes what kind of rocks?
When a rock is weathered or eroded, it can become sedimentary rock. This process involves the breakdown and transportation of rock particles, which then accumulate and eventually form sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
A valley eroded by a glacier is usually what shape?
Glacially eroded valleys are normally U-shaped.
What happens when water runs through or over rocks and carries small amounts of minerals away?
It's called erosion. Water carries Minerals away and it erodes the rock over millions of years. The Grand Canyon Was eroded by glaciers. The four agents of erosion are: Water,glaciers,wind,and...I forgot. Hope that helps!
Can use dune in the sentence?
The sand dune eroded during the storm. We had a picnic on the dune above the beach.
Where metamorphic rock are found?
Everywhere at some depth, and on the surface where uplift and erosion have allowed them to be visible. They can also be found as pebbles or boulders in glacial drift, deposited in areas in which they do not normally appear.
How is reculver being eroded?
it is being eroded by the wind and sea
What is the future tense for eroded?
"will erode"
