CP Geography Chapter 2

This type of weathering occurs when rocks weaken then break down due to chemical changes in the composition of the rock.

• mechanical weathering
• chemical weathering
• erosion weathering
• deposition

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

• mechanical weathering
• chemical weathering
• erosion weathering
• deposition

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

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition
• dumptruck

The process of soil/sand/rock/snow moving down a slope due to gravity (can be gradual or sudden)

• Hurricane

• Typhoon

• Blizzard

• Mass Waisting (Landslide)

The biological, chemical, or mechanical processes that breaks down rock on Earth's surface.

• weathering

• erosion

• deposition

• jackhammering

Potholes forming in the road after a cold winter is an example of:

• mechanical weathering
• chemical weathering

When plants and animals wear away at rocks

• Biological Weathering

• Mechanical Weathering

• Chemical Weathering

A piece of sandstone changing color (from brown to rusty red) from exposure to water and air is an example of:

• mechanical weathering
• chemical weathering

The condition of the atmosphere at a particular location and time.

• Weather

• Climate

• Equinox

• Solstice
