Answer:

c. numerous collisions between particles during extensive transportation.

Explanation:

A clast is a smaller grain of the rock broken off by the other rocks occurring by the physical weathering or whether in suspension as a bedload and occurs in sediment deposits.

The angular grains that formed due to the erosion of clastic rocks that form part of the sedimentary rocks are an effect of the mineralogical components of the rocks that make up the blogs of the silicate particles that are derived from the weathering of the older rocks namely as in the form of Conglomerates and breccias, Sandstones, and the Mudrocks.

Thus there are changes in the composition, and texture of the rocks surfaces and an example of a clastic environment could be a river system where the full range of grains are being transported by the moving water consist of eroded particles from solid rock upstream.

Define weathering, erosion, and deposition. Give at least one example of a landform that is created by each process.

yanalaym [24]

Weathering:

Definition: The process of wearing or being worn by long exposure to the atmosphere.

Example: Plateaus can be formed by weathering

Erosion:

Definition: the gradual destruction or diminution of something.

Example: Landforms of coastal erosion include cliffs, wave-cut platforms, caves and arches.

Deposition:

Definition: Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.

Example: Beaches, deltas, glacial moraine, sand dunes, and salt domes.
