When rick is weathered and transported downstream, this process exemplifies the conservation of mass. As material breaks down and is carried away, the total mass remains constant, even as it changes form and location. This principle underscores the idea that matter is neither created nor destroyed but merely transformed and redistributed in the environment.
An example of physical weathering is freeze-thaw weathering, where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart. The rock is weathered in this process, as the repeated freezing and thawing weakens and eventually breaks it apart.
what are three things transported by the water cycle and describe how they are transported
Co-transport is when molecules or ions are transported across a membrane (in fixed ratios) at the same time. One example is the Na/Ca exchanger - which transports Na in and Ca out of the cell simultaneously.
Natural gas (methane) and hydrogen can be transported in its normal gaseous stateinside a pipeline ...

This process is best seen as an example of the conversion of mechanical energy into potential energy. The kinetic energy of the moving water impacts the rocks, breaking them down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then transported downstream where they accumulate as sediment, storing potential energy until they are deposited elsewhere.

The American Appalachian mountains a a good example of weathered mountains.
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.
