What is the large particles carried by the water?
Large particles carried by water include sediment, rocks, debris, and organic matter. These particles can be transported by the flow of water in rivers, streams, and oceans, contributing to erosion and sedimentation processes.
What are bits of sand and rock and soil formed by weathering called?
Bits of sand, rock, and soil formed by weathering are called sediment. Sediment is produced from the breakdown of larger rocks and is typically carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice. Over time, sediment can accumulate and form sedimentary rocks.
What is the Fancy scientific names for particles of rock being carried along in water?
I would consider tiny pieces of rock carried by water to be sediment. Sediment is generally clay or sand particles, but any type of rock ground into fine particles can be carried by water. This may include igneous-type rocks (those that come from around volcanoes and the bottom of the ocean).
What happens when water that settles into cracks of rocks freezes?
Water expands when it freezes, therefore it tends to cause the rocks to crack (or perhaps I should say, it causes existing cracks to get larger, leading to the disintegration of the rock).
What is the suction on the bottom of the rocks of the sea bottom?
The suction on the bottom of sea rocks can vary depending on factors such as water currents, sediment composition, and size of the rocks. Generally, smaller rocks may experience more suction compared to larger rocks due to higher water flow around them.
How do sedimentary rocksget smmoth under water?
Water will smooth out all types of rocks because over time, the movement of other small particles carried along by the water strikes larger rocks in the water, wearing down their sharper edges and points.
What happens to rocks when they are carried by a stream?
They become smooth and oval shaped, because the rushing water erodes the rock fragment/s.
What happens to rocks in flowing water?
Rocks in flowing water can be eroded and carried downstream by the current. Over time, they can become smaller and smoother as they are continually moved and rubbed against other materials in the water.
What happens to rocks that are in moving water?
They are eroded by the water.
What process occurs when bits of rocks are carried away by flowing water?
weathering
Do sedimentary rocks form in many years?
Yes they are. There also carried away with water and wind. There small piecese of other rocks.
What is meant by a river's load and describe how the load is carried?
A river's load refers to the materials, such as sediment, rocks, and organic matter, that the river transports along its course. This load can be carried in several ways: dissolved load (minerals dissolved in water), suspended load (particles carried within the water column), and bed load (larger particles that roll or slide along the riverbed). The river's velocity and flow determine how much and what type of load can be carried, with faster flows able to transport larger particles.
What happens to a rock fragments and materials carried by water?
pop jark
What is the settling out of sediments carried by water wind or ice to form sedimentary rocks?
It is called deposition.
How are seimentary rocks made?
Sedimentary rocks are created by the consolidation and cementing together of the rock particles that result from erosion and are carried by wind or water.
What are small particles of soil or rocks that are transported by water or the wind?
Sediments are small particles of soil or rocks that are transported by water or wind. They can vary in size from tiny clay particles to larger sand or gravel particles. Sediments can be carried downstream by rivers or blown by the wind to new locations where they may eventually settle and accumulate.
Water freezes in the cracks of rocks and plants grow into the cracks of rocks what happens?
cracks open wider
