Glaciers pick up rock material by means of abrasion. Porous and fractured rocks are broken by expanding forces caused by water freezing within the rock. Wind typically carries small particles and is very capable of eroding and transporting large amounts of sediments. They also cause the abrasion rocks and sand particles as they are transported along the shore. The transformation of the original material into a different one.
Particle size is very important in the process of chemical weathering.
The greater the surface area of a particle the more susceptible it is to chemical weathering. Sedimentary rocks have a wide range of colors that include red, brown, gray, yellow, pink, black, green and purple. The most important colors are the iron bearing compounds, brown, red, yellow and green. Red rocks owe their colors to the fine hematite and green rocks to chlorite and lack iron oxide. The three major types of sedimentary rocks are mud rocks, sandstones and carbonate rocks.
