How Does A Rock Travel From The Top Of A Mountain To The Beach?

[Meggyw]

I know it's something to do with a volcanic eruption

Usually transported by water, sometimes by ice. If you are sceptical, remember that in a whole century, the single worst day of rainfall can erode and transport as much material as in all the other 99 years and 364 days.

It can roll down or, more likely, be washed down by water or snow slides

[jomifl]

It is more to do with gravity.

Megz th[s sounds like a homework question and relates to a previous lesson in the week - probably Geography

the only problem is: none of us have been to your lessons

[AlwaysConfused]

Can you elaborate on your question, Meggy? I'm sure noone wants to bombard you with over-the-top detail if it isn't needed, but also don't want to insult your intelligence by giving a really simple answer. If this is homework, what are you currently studying in that lesson and what is the full question?

[Peter Pedant]

always
I bet it was Geography and Volcanoes

I cant believe the answer is plate tectonic thingy and lateral movement

[Zacs-Master]

I'm guessing Meggy wants to know how a mountain becomes sand on a beach.

[Zacs-Master]

Of course, the answer is very different in different climates and whether there is an ice age involved.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah but no but Zax

neither of those are about volcanoes, are they ?
