What are big rocks and small pebbles?
Big rocks are large, solid formations of mineral material, while small pebbles are small, smooth stones typically found in rivers or along coastlines. The main difference is in their size and composition, with big rocks being much larger and pebbles being smaller and smoother.
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.
What is the difference between clay and shale?
Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material that is composed of mineral particles smaller than silt. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that is formed from the compaction of clay, silt, or mud over time. Essentially, shale is the hardened form of clay.
The contacting cushioning surfaces of a moving joint such as your hip joint consist of?
The contacting cushioning surfaces of a moving joint like your hip joint consist of cartilage. Cartilage is a smooth, rubbery connective tissue that helps to reduce friction and absorb shock between bones in a joint.
Why beach pebbles are so smooth?
Beach pebbles are smooth as they are eroded by the waves
Does limestone have smooth pebbles or angular pebbles?
Limestone is not made of pebbles, it is made of animal remains.
What are pebbles used for?
Pebbles can be used for scenery around a garden or a pond. Pebbles are usually smooth river rocks. You can go buy them at Home Depot.
What is smooth muscle consist of?
myocytes
What is the look and feel of sedimentary rocks?
the look and feel of sedimentary rocks are sometimes hard and smooth or hard and rough
How can you decide if a rock is sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
igneous is black and smooth metamorphic is magnetic and sedimentary is used as cement
What does the middle layer of the artery consist of?
Smooth muscle.
Why beach pebblles are so smooth?
Over time, the sand and water at a beach both work together like a sandpaper to smooth out the surface of these pebbles.
What is the texture of sedimentary rocks such as sandstone?
smooth or in some cases bumpy
Was goliath the oldest of the five brothers?
Goliath had three brothers, that is why David took four smooth pebbles.
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.
How does a sedimentary rock become smooth?
Through weathering, typically from abrasion or tumbling.
