Weathering (breaking down rock) and erosion (transporting rock material) at or near the earth's surface breaks down rocks into small and smaller pieces. These smaller pieces of rock (such as sand, silt, or mud) can be deposited as sediments that, after hardening, or lithifying, become sedimentary rocks.n Earth's surface, wind and water can break rock into pieces (weathering!). They can also carry rock pieces to another place (erosion)!. Usually, the rock pieces, called sediments, drop from the wind or water to make a layer.
The water cycle or hydrologic is a continuous cycle where water evaporates, travels into the air and becomes part of a cloud, falls down to earth as precipitation, and then evaporates again. This repeats again and again in a never-ending cycle.
water within the water cycle. â¢ Identify the three states of water and how water transitions between them. BACKGROUND AND TEXT OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The Water Cycle is the endless movement of water around the planet. Earthâs natural systems are constantly moving and using water. As a liquid, gas or solid, powered by the sun and the forceofgravity,watertravels over, under and above the sur-face of the Earth in an incredible journey called the water cycle.
