A boulder can become sand through a process called weathering, which involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles. Physical weathering, such as freeze-thaw cycles or abrasion from wind and water, breaks the boulder into smaller fragments. Chemical weathering can also contribute by altering the minerals in the rock, eventually leading to disintegration. Over time, these smaller particles can be further eroded and transported, ultimately forming sand.
What else can I help you with?
What is a sand-to boulder-sized particle of debris in the solar system called?
A sand-to boulder-sized particle of debris in the solar system is called a meteoroid.
What change occurs in a boulder when it erodes into sand?
The boulder's size and shape change as it breaks down into smaller particles. The process of erosion gradually wears away the boulder's surface, breaking it apart into sand grains. This transformation involves physical and chemical weathering, which ultimately results in the boulder being transformed into sand.
What is the antonym of sand?
since sand is ground up and very fine rock, i would imagine that it would be boulder.
What are the stages a granite goes through in a rock cycle?
Fine sand Course sand Gravel Boulder Solid rock
What eventually happens to a grain of sand?
A quartz sand grain could combine with other rock particles to become sandstone which could then undergo metamorphism to become quartzite. Given enough time and weathering, it could simply become a part of a solution that reconstitutes elsewhere as part of a mineral crystal.
A pebble and boulder surface formed when sand and clay are blown away by wind?
desert pavement
Grains larger than sand are classified as?
Gravel, cobble and boulder (in increasing order of size).
How do you become a snow boarder if i am a South African?
well that could be a problem but you could always travel north to become a boarder or could board on sand dunes if there are any around
What is the detrital sediment sizes in order from smallest to largest?
Clay, Silt, Sand, Granule, Pebble, Cobble and Boulder.
What refers to a small celestial object orbiting the Sun and ranging in size from a grain of sand to a boulder?
asteroid
what is the differentiation between a meteor meteoroid and a meteorite?
a meteoroid is a rock from the size of a grain of sand to that of a boulder that is in our solar system
How long did it take for planetesimals to become boulder-size?
879 miles
