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.
The process in plants by which water is taken up by the roots and released as water vapor through stomata in the leaves. What are the water cycles 3 processes. Evaporation, Condensation,Precipitation. How does the force of gravity and energy from the sun drives the water cycle. The sun makes the water cycle work. Sun provides almost everything earth needs to get energy, or heat. The force of gravity keeps the cycle moving.
