What are big rocks and small pebbles?

Why are pebbles in sea water smooth and curved?

Most small pebbles are the remains of older larger pebbles, and even larger rocks many millions of years old. They became smaller and smaller through natural erosion processes (such as wind and water.) These processes affect all parts of the pebble equally (the pebble, whether it is on land or in the water, is constantly being tumbled around.) This constant erosion on all sides ends up making it smooth and round, much in the same way that rubbing sand paper across wood makes that side of it smooth. The erosion sort of "cleans up" any jagged irregularities of the pebble.


What is a smooth stone with layers called?

The most common smooth stone with layers is sandstone, The differently colored layers are caused as different layers of sediment build up. The Painted Dessert is one of the most spectacular examples of sandstone layers.

Why do pebbles that are rough and uneven become smooth and round?

Pebbles become smooth and round through a process called abrasion, where they are constantly rubbed against other surfaces by water or wind. This continuous friction causes the rough and uneven parts to wear down, eventually resulting in a smooth and rounded appearance.
