Physical and chemical weathering differ because

• only chemical weathering produces new materials

• only physical weathering creates smaller pieces of rock

• only physical weathering involves water

• chemical weathering is faster than physical weathering

Abrasion is the process by which rocks

• become cemented together to form bigger rocks

• become pitted (covered with small holes)

• scrape against one another

• break apart when water freezes

Weathering is the process of

• moving sediment from one place to another

• dropping or leaving sediment in a location

• breaking down rocks into sediment

An example of chemical weathering is

• Ice wedging

• Oxidation

• Animals burrowing

• Crashing waves

Carbonic acid is formed in nature when

• Water dissolves particles of soil to form mud

• Oxygen combines with minerals in rocks

• Water combines with carbon dioxide
