Geology 1E: Rocks & Weathering

Label the pictures based on their likely relative age!

We have learned that (a) is the process that (b) down rock and other substances at Earth's surface and (c) is the removal of rock particles by wind, (d) , ice, and gravity. These processes work continuously to wear down and (e) away the rocks at Earth's surface.

What do we call the principle that states:
THE SAME PROCESSES THAT OPERATE TODAY MUST HAVE OPERATED IN THE PAST

The two types of WEATHERING are...

Match the following types of mechanical weathering with their definitions.

As rocks get (a) eroded, the pressure on the outside of the rock is (b) . This causes the pressure inside of the rocks to (c) , which can cause (d) and cracking on the (e) of the rock!

Animals that (a) in the ground can (b) and break apart rocks in the (c) . These (d) include moles, gophers, prairie dogs, and even some (e) .

Roots of trees and other (a) enter (b) in rocks. As roots (c) , they force the cracks (d) . Over time, the roots of even (e) plants can pry apart cracked rocks.

Sand and other (a) that are carried by (b) , water, or ice can wear away exposed rock surfaces just like sandpaper wears away (c) . Rocks can get (d) in strange ways by (e) sand.
