Answer:

Eroded; poorly; abrasion; coarse-grained; well.

Explanation:

A rock cycle can be defined as a concept used to describe the continuous process that leads to a rock's creation, formation, transformation from one form to another, destruction and reformation over a specific period of time. The natural phenomenons that influences the rock cycle are weathering, plate tectonic activity, erosion, etc.

Basically, the three (3) main types of rocks are; igneous rock, sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock.

Weathering can be defined as the physical and chemical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces called sediment. Weathering can be classified into two categories namely;

I. Physical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces without affecting its chemical composition e.g temperature, abrasion and frost action.

II. Chemical weathering : it is the process of breaking rocks into pieces by chemical action which leads to changes in its chemical composition e.g carbonation, hydration, plant acid and oxidation.

When sediments are first weathered from their source rock, they are eroded and poorly sorted. As they travel, they impact against each other or against bedrock, a process that abrasion off sharp corners and wears down the sediment size. Sediments that are finer, coarse-grained, rounded, and well sorted indicate that the sediments have traveled a long way from the source.
