Front

What is weathering?

Back

Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces due to environmental factors.

Front

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

Back

Weathering breaks down rocks, while erosion involves the movement of those broken pieces by wind, water, or ice.

Front

What are minerals?

Back

Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic solids with a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is the difference between a closed circuit and an open circuit?

Back

A closed circuit allows electricity to flow, while an open circuit interrupts the flow of electricity.

Front

What is the role of gravity in erosion?

Back

Gravity pulls rocks and soil downhill, contributing to erosion.

Front

What is the significance of observing properties of materials?

Back

Observing properties helps us understand how materials behave and interact with each other.
