Which activity demonstrates chemical weathering?

The action of the root splitting the bedrock is an example of

• chemical weathering

• deposition

• erosion

• mechanical weathering

Which process involves either a mechanical or chemical breakdown of earth materials?

• sedimentation

• weathering

• cementing

All of the following are examples of erosion EXCEPT:

• The wind in the desert blows sand against a rock.

• A glacier picks up boulders as it moves.

• A flood washes over a riverbank, and the water carries small soil particles downstream.

• An icy winter causes the pavement in a road to crack.
