What else can I help you with?
What features of the rocky mountain suggest that a younger mountain chain than the Appalachian mountain?
The amount of erosion and the age of the rocks.
How do weathering and erosion change a mountain?
it changes because of the weathering and erosion that takes away the soil and rocks causing it to lower and move to another place, which means that a new mountain will form from the weathering and erosion.
How is some of the sand on the ocean beach made?
erosion of other rocks and deposition of sand from other places.
How does erosion affect coastlines?
Erosion affects a coastline by dragging sand into the water, making the beach much smaller. Sometimes, erosion brings insome sand and rocks on the backwash of the waves.
Why does a river turn orange that flows from the mountain?
Impurities in the rocks and erosion usually add a color to the water
What process that wears away a mountain range?
The process that wears away a mountain range is known as erosion. Erosion can be caused by various factors such as wind, water, ice, and gravity. Over time, these elements break down the rocks and sediment of a mountain range, gradually wearing it away.
What is a wall of rocks or concrete built outward from a beach to prevent erosion?
A groin. (grow-in) That's how u pronounce it. =)
Why does weathering have to occur first then erosion?
Weathering breaks materialn down and erosion transports that broken down material. As an example, weathering breaks a mountain down into smaller rocks, and those smaller rocks can be transported by streams (erosion), but the streams cannot simply move the whole mountain.
What causes mountain tops to be pointed or smooth?
Mountain tops can be pointed or smooth depending on the type of rock and the erosion processes that have occurred. Pointed mountain tops are often formed by resistant rocks like granite that erode slowly, while smooth mountain tops can be the result of softer rocks that erode more quickly. Glaciers, wind, and water erosion can also contribute to shaping the tops of mountains.
How is the water cycle involved in moving rock and sediment from a mountain top to a beach?
Water from precipitation erodes and weathers rocks on the mountain top, carrying sediment downhill through streams and rivers. The sediment eventually reaches the beach through the process of erosion and deposition, driven by the water cycle's continuous movement of water.
Why might you find smooth rocks on a beach?
Smooth rocks on a beach are often the result of continuous erosion caused by water and sand rubbing against the rocks over time. The motion of waves can wear down the rough edges of the rocks, making them smooth.
What forces can change an rugged mountan to a low hill?
The main forces that can change a rugged mountain into a low hill are erosion and weathering. Erosion, including processes like water and wind erosion, breaks down the rocks and soil on the mountain, gradually wearing it down over time. Weathering, which involves the breakdown of rocks and minerals on the mountain's surface, also contributes to the transformation of a mountain into a hill.
