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

• physical/ mechanical weathering

• chemical weathering

• erosion weathering

• deposition

What are some properties of ice? Click all that apply.

• It usually causes chemical weathering.

• It expands as it freezes.

• It barely causes weathering at all.

• It is less dense than liquid water.

How is mechanical(physical) weathering different from chemical weathering?

• Chemical weathering happens over a much shorter time frame than mechanical weathering.

• Chemical weathering occurs in the tropics; mechanical weathering occurs in temperate climates.

• Chemical weathering occurs in mountains; mechanical weathering occurs on flat surfaces.

• Chemical weathering changes the chemical composition of materials; mechanical/physical weathering does not.

How does freezing water cause the weathering of rocks? The freezing water—

• keeps the rocks in place

• makes the rocks last longer

• expands, cracks, and breaks rocks

• causes rocks to fall in landslides
