Yep, water has a high heat capacity which means it absorbs a lot of heat before it changes temperature and once absorbed, it holds onto it. You can't say the same for rocks or especially sand.
No, the movement of water going faster does not make a rock smoother. In fact, fast-moving water can erode and wear down rocks, making them rougher and more jagged over time.
When water rubs against rock, tiny particles of the rock slowly break off and the rock gets smaller. When ice does the same, it does the same thing but a little faster.
Yes, hot mineral water can erode rock faster than cold water due to increased chemical reactivity at higher temperatures. The heat can accelerate chemical reactions that break down the rock more rapidly. Additionally, minerals in the hot water can further aid in the erosion process.
Galileo would have observed that both the burlap ball and the 2-pound rock would have hit the ground at the same time. This would have demonstrated that objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight, disproving the prevailing belief at the time that heavier objects fall faster.
Chalk would weather fastest, followed by limestone.
All objects fall universally with the same acceleration: 9.8 m/s squared.
smooth rocks create less friction on air.
Faster in rock. the higher the density, the higher the speed.
Rock because it absorbs heat faster more density!! Your welcome my public!!:D
Rock salt dissolves fastest in hot water.
If the movement is slow and gradual, it would likely be a creep. If the movement is faster and more sudden, it could be a landslide or a mudslide, depending on the presence of water and mud.
Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.

A rock falls faster than a feather due to differences in their mass and air resistance. Air resistance affects the feather more than the rock due to its larger surface area and lighter mass, causing the feather to fall more slowly.
Nope. Galileo proved that the weight of an object has nothing to do with how fast it falls, particularly in a container with no air in it. In one of these airless containers, you would see that a nickel and a feather fall at exactly the same speed.
Crushed salt dissolves faster in cold water compared to rock salt. This is because crushed salt has a larger surface area for water molecules to come in contact with, facilitating faster dissolution. Rock salt, on the other hand, has a smaller surface area which slows down the dissolution process.
