What else can I help you with?
Can sedimentary rocks be worn down?
Yes
Why do some canyons have rivers?
the force of the rivers have worn down the rock and formed the canyons.
Smooth rocks that have been worn down by water?
Conglomarate
How do plants and animals contribute to the weathering of rock?
plants help because they help to keep the soil up which in turn will keep rivers smaller and keep rocks from falling in or getting worn down as quickly.
What are rocks that worn down and altered over a period of time called?
Sediment.
What is the process by which rocks are worn down and altered overa period of time?
weathering
What type of weathering is it when larger rocks are worn down by windblown sand?
sand storm
What is the process by which the rocks of the earth are worn down into fragments and carried away is called?
Weathering and erosion.
How are rocks worn away?
Rocks are worn away through the process of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces while erosion is what carries the rock to new places. Rocks can be worn away by water, ice, and wind. Examples of this are abrasion, ice wedging, and dissolution.
Which rocks are worn down and altered over a period of time is called?
The process of rocks being worn down and altered over time is called weathering. This can occur through physical processes (such as wind and water erosion) or chemical processes (like oxidation and hydration).
Why are most sands and sandstones yellow or brown?
Probably because it is worn down rocks, and those are colors they tend to be
Gravity chemcial weathering?
Chemical weathering means that rocks are worn down by chemical reactions. This is unrelated to gravity.
