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.

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.

What are examples of deposition?
