When weathering occurs at mountains, large slabs of rocks detach from it. The rocks would move down and this movement is called mass wasting. What causes this downward motion?

• Gravitational force of earth

• Rotation of the earth of its axis

• Revolution of the earth around the sun

• Strong winds on the earth surace

• Deposition

• Volcanic eruption

• Continental drift

• Tsunamis

Which of the following is NOT true about chemical weathering?

• Agents of chemical weathering include water, strong acids, and oxygen

• Rock materials are changed into other substances with physical and chemical compositions

• Agents of chemical weathering include living things such as insects and roots of trees

• One example of chemical weathering include feldspar hydrolized by rainwater

How would you explain the role of water in chemical weathering of rocks?

• It hydrates and breaks the minerals on the rocks

• It washes out the dirt on rocks

• It fertilizes the soil

• It combines with metals in the minerals of rocks to form oxides
