What happens to a rock when it weathers?

• It settles out of water that is carrying it.
• It creates a valley.
• It forms a delta.
• It breaks into small pieces.

Weathering is the process of -

• Moving sediment from one place to another

• Dropping or leaving sediment in a location

• Breaking down rocks into sediment

Ice wedging is an example of -

• Physical weathering

• Chemical weathering

• Both physical AND chemical weathering

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 rocks weaken then break down due to chemical changes in the composition of the rock.

• mechanical weathering
• chemical weathering
• erosion weathering
• deposition

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.
