907 Views 184 Likes
The pebbles become rounded, or rather they become polished and smoothed due to not just water but the tumbling effect, similar to the tumbling that is done to polish gem stones. The original shape of the stone will dictate the shape of the pebble, with the more exposed surfaces receiving the most abrasion first.
