∙ 13y agoBits of sand, rock, and soil formed by weathering are called sediment. Sediment is produced from the breakdown of larger rocks and is typically carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice. Over time, sediment can accumulate and form sedimentary rocks.
Clints are formed by chemical weathering. This leaves gaps in the limestone, and slabs of rock outside them, which are called clints.
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks. This process involves the breakdown of rocks into small particles that are then compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Coombe rock is typically formed through a process called weathering and erosion, where softer rocks are gradually worn away by elements such as wind, water, and ice. This erosion leaves behind the more resistant rock formations like coombe rock. Over time, continuous weathering and erosion shape the coombe rock into its characteristic features.
I think you are referring to a classification of rock called sedimentary. the other two main types are metamorphic and igneous.
Yes, weathering can occur when bits of rock are moved by water or ice. This process, known as physical weathering, includes erosion caused by the abrasion of rock surfaces by sediment being transported by water or ice. Over time, this movement can break down rocks into smaller pieces.
Clints are formed by chemical weathering. This leaves gaps in the limestone, and slabs of rock outside them, which are called clints.
Weathering may change the rock into many shapes.
Clastic sedimentary rock is sedimentary rock that is formed from rock particles.
Sedimentary rock is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together through processes like compaction and cementation. This type of rock typically forms at or near the Earth's surface through the accumulation and solidification of sediments.
Sediment.
Igneous rock undergoes weathering, where it is broken down into smaller particles by physical, chemical, or biological processes. These particles are then transported and deposited in layers by wind, water, or ice to form sediment. Over time, the sediment is compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.

soil is formed by weathering because the bigger rock break the little rock and makes soil.
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion
