Erosion is the process of water softening rock into soil or sand (depending on the type of rock). It is a long process which uses rain and high tides against rock. Overtime, the stone is softened by the water and begins to crack and crumble. This continues until the stone becomes soil or sand.

What is the type of weathering that involes a chemical change in some of the minerals in a rock?
Chemical weathering is the type of weathering that involves a chemical change in some of the minerals in a rock. This process breaks down the rock into smaller pieces by altering its mineral composition through chemical reactions with substances like water, oxygen, or acids.
What is a type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock?
A type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock is a joint. Joints are fractures in the rock that provide pathways for water and other weathering agents to penetrate the bedrock, leading to physical or chemical weathering processes.
Weathering and erosion are two of the what that change rocks?
Weathering can wear down rock over time, smoothing out rough rock formations. Since harder rocks are much more resistant to weathering than softer ones, weathering can change the shape of a rock formation as the soft rock is weathered away, leaving behind the hard rock in a potentially very different shape. Erosion has a very small effect, but could slightly change the shape as dirt and rock particles on the formations are blown or washed away.
What type of weathering is seen in desert environments a. spheroidal weathering b. hydrolysis c. sedimentation d. differential weathering?
differential weathering
What is a type of weathering?
Acid rain
What type of weathering occurs when only the size of the rock change?
physical weathering
Which type of weathering causes the mineral composition of rocks to change?
Chemical weathering is the type of weathering that causes the mineral composition of rocks to change. This process occurs when minerals in rocks react with elements in the environment, causing a chemical reaction that alters the rock's mineral composition over time.
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion

What is the main type of weather in in the desert?
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weather?
Limestone is a type of stone that will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering due to its high susceptibility to chemical weathering processes such as dissolution and carbonation. These processes can cause erosion and deterioration of the limestone over time.
What type of weathering makes iron change colors?
oxidation causes iron to change color. oxidation causes rust.
What type of rock can change to igneous rock?
lime stone
What type of rock could be formed from the weathering and erosion of metamorphic rock?
A Igneous B Sedimentary
How does one type of rock change to another?
It can't, unless it may become compressed and change to a harder version of the rock it was before. Also abit of acid weathering could corrode and change the rock shape and make it weaker, but this is over a long period of time.
What is a type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock?
A type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock is a joint. Joints are fractures in the rock that provide pathways for water and other weathering agents to penetrate the bedrock, leading to physical or chemical weathering processes.
What type of weathering is in breaking of rocks?
Physical weathering.
