Impact of Natural Events and Climatic Interactions

The process by which water, ice, wind or gravity moves weathered rock and soil from one place to another.

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition
• dumptruck

This type of weathering occurs when rock is physically broken down into smaller pieces of rock.

• mechanical weathering
• chemical weathering
• erosion weathering
• deposition

These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freeze/thaw of water in the cracks of the rocks. This is an example of:

• ice wedging
• acid rain
• permeability
• abrasion

How might a weathered mountain appear different than an unweathered mountain?

• Weathered mountain would be taller.
• Weathered mountain would be rounder and less jagged.
• Weathered mountain would be more jagged and less rounded.
• Weathered mountain would have no trees.

A metal statue slowly turning green after years of being outside is an example of:

• mechanical weathering
• chemical weathering
