Bed Rock Reduced to Aggregate Naturally
Aggregates are formed by some reduction procedure in nature from the
bedrock. The earth’s crust which is termed as the most important part of its
geography consists of solid rocks called bed rock. and the major part of solid rocks are covered by soil
particles derived from the bedrock, according to size these soil is classified
as gravel, sand, silt and clay.
Sand and gravel are generally termed as natural
aggregate, because they occur in nature by one time broken from a large massive
parent rock, which was transported by nature such as wind and water and left in
various types of deposits called and or gravel bank. This process of forming
aggregate particles by natural process from bedrock includes breaking or
crushing the bedrock, transporting the broken rocks with natural transporting
agents and depositing it in various in various lands and river banks. In this
process the sedimentary rocks are crushed into metamorphic rocks or igneous
rocks which can also interchange within themselves. After some mechanical and
chemical weathering it is formed as residual which is called as the unfinished
aggregate and then transported and deposited.
