Bits of rock can be moved from one place to another by water. The flow of the current can make the rocks move by transportation. It also can be carried by wind.

What is the difference between clastic and chemical rocks?
Clastic: These rocks are composed predominantly of broken pieces of older weathered and eroded rocks Non-clastic/ Organic: A sedimentary rock composed of the remains of plants and animals.
How does the wind affect animals?
It affects the animals breathing. chelsie tiblow rocks
How do plants or animals weather rocks?
Weathering is the breakdown of a rock into smaller particles. Acids from animal waste and even the movement of rocks from an animals locomotion can contribute to weathering. Some marine organisms can create chemicals which chemically attack rock causing dissolution.
How do animals use rocks as tools?
Birds have gizzards that rely on small pebbles to help grind the food they ingest. The human animals' use of rocks is breathtaking in scope. Sea otters use rocks to break shells of sea creatures before eating them.

How did rocks becoming sand?
mostly by grinding one on another, but other mechanisms can be resposible. This grinding can be done by the rivers water movingdown pieces or rocks, or the wind eroding cliffs, but it also can be a biological action of some plants or algae, some animals can also participate (mostly colonial insects like ants or termits)
Difference between residual soil and transported soil?
Soil that remains at the place of formation is called residual soil. It is usually formed from chemical or physical weathering and eventually covers the parent rock. the characteristics of residual soil depends on the that of the parent rock.The weathered pieces of rocks that have been carried by several agents like wind and water and finally breaks down into further small pieces to settle down is called transported soil. They are very fertile as they consist of minerals from a variety of transported rocks.
Describe why weathering is important to erosion?
weathering breaks down rocks, which makes the sediment easy to be transported
