What is weathering?
The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces called sediments.
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces without a change in chemical composition.
The breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces by chemical action.
Select all the types of weathering.
Physical processes
Chemical Processes
Frost wedging-water freezes in cracks of rocks
Root Wedging-plant root break apart rocks
Biological Processes
What is mechanical weathering?
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by chemical action.
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces without a change in chemical composition.
Examples of mechanical weathering are:
Frost wedging-water freezes in cracks of rocks
Root wedging-plant root break apart rocks
Abrasion-moving sediments hit other rocks and wear them down
Exfoliation-rocks break off their outer layer
All of the above
None of the above
Only frost and root wedging
What is chemical weathering?
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces without a change in chemcial composition.
The movement of rocks or sediment from one location to another.
The breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by chemical action.
Select all the examples of chemical weathering.
Oxidation-forms rust
Root wedging-plant root break apart rocks
Carbonation-carbonic acids react with rock
Dissolution-minerals dissolve in water
Hydrolysis-silicate minerals react with water
What is biological weathering?
The breakdown of of rock by plants, animals, and microbes.
The breaking down of rocks nto smaller pieces called sediments.
What is erosion?
The particles are carried by water, ice, or wind and deposited (dropped) in another location
The movement of rocks or sediment from one location to another.
Mass movement is:
Movements of mass
Large movement of large masses of rock, soil, and/or mud.
Select all the examples of erosion.
Mudflow-water, rock & soil move quickly
Landslides- rock & soil move quickly
Sand dunes- deposited by wind
Slump- rock & soil move in one big mass
Creep- rock & soil move over time
None of the above
Deposition is:
When particles are carried by water, ice, or wind and deposited (dropped) in another location
The movement of rocks or sediment from one location to another.
