What else can I help you with?
Where are rivers commonly found?
Rivers are commonly found in sandy areas, mud and stony bottoms.
Tiny bits of rock and dirt that build up on the bottoms of rivers and lakes are?
sediments. These sediments can vary in size from silt to pebbles, and they are carried by the flow of water and deposited on the river or lake bed. Over time, sediments can accumulate and create features such as deltas or riverbanks.
What is a beach composed of pebbles called?
A beach made of pebbles is often called a "shingle" beach.
What are small pieces of rock?
Small pieces of rock are known as pebbles or gravel. They are typically between 2-64 millimeters in diameter and are often found near rivers, beaches, or in soil. Pebbles can vary in color, shape, and texture depending on the type of rock they come from.
Made up of rounded pebbles cemented together?
This type of rock is known as conglomerate. It forms when rounded pebbles are deposited and then cemented together by minerals, often creating a distinctive appearance of varying colored pebbles within a matrix. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that typically indicates the past presence of rivers or alluvial fans.
Why do pebbles have holes in them?
Pebbles can develop holes through a process called abrasion, where tumbling in rivers or oceans causes small pieces of rock to wear away, creating holes. Other times, these holes can form from the dissolution of minerals within the pebble, leaving behind empty spaces.
Stones from the river?
They are called pebbles.
What are older mountain peaks called?
pebbles.
Where you can find conglomerate?
Conglomerate rocks are sedimentary rocks; they settle at bottoms of the rivers, lakes, and oceans in deposited layers.
Why do pebbles have holes?
Pebbles can have holes due to erosion, often from being tumbled in rivers or waves which causes wear and tear on the stone, creating small crevices or holes. Additionally, some pebbles may have formed with holes naturally as a result of the rock's formation process and mineral composition.
How do pebbles move?
Pebbles move primarily through the forces of water, wind, and gravity. In rivers and streams, flowing water can carry pebbles downstream, often causing them to roll or bounce along the riverbed. In coastal areas, waves can wash pebbles back and forth on beaches, while wind can displace smaller pebbles across dry surfaces. Gravity also plays a role, causing pebbles to slide down slopes or cliffs during landslides or erosion.
