Sedimentary rocks are formed from the rock fragments that are made when a rock is eroed. Theese rock fragments are transported (carried away) from the rock face, usually by streams or rivers. As they are transported by the water, the rock fragments knock against each other and wear away. When they become very small they are called grains


What sort of materials are carried through floatation?

Materials that can be carried effectively through flotation include minerals, metals, and other hydrophobic substances that can attach to air bubbles and rise to the surface. These materials are separated from hydrophilic particles during the flotation process, which is commonly used in mineral processing to concentrate desired minerals from ores.

Why do iron plates feel heavier than other materials?

Iron plates feel heavier than other materials because iron is a dense metal, meaning it has more mass packed into a smaller volume compared to other materials. This density makes iron plates feel heavier when lifted or carried.
