TRUE OR FALSE - There are three types of weathering.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The agents of physcial weathering are:

• Landslides, pressure change, digging, desert, water, gravity and erosion

• Temporary change, erosion, animal action, wind, water, gravity and deposition

• Temperature change, pressure change, animal action, wind, water, gravity and plant growth

• Tire change, pressure change, animal fighting, wind, water, gravy and planting flowers

How many AGENTS of Physical Weathering are there?

• THREE (3)

• TWELVE (12)

• EIGHT (8)

• SEVEN (7)

What causes a rock to expand in a rise of temperature and contract in low temperatures repeatedly until the rock crumbles ?

• Animal Action

• Pressure Changes

• Temperature Changes

• Plant Growth

Outermost layers being seperated from underlying layers of a rock is due to what kind of changes ?

• Animal Action

• Temperature Change

• Pressure Change

• Plant Growth

When burrows are dug into the ground and soil is moved ,allowing new rocks, soils, and other materials to be exposed at the surface

• Animal Action

• Pressure Change

• Temperature Change

• Plant Growth

In moving water, rocks are tumbled in water, hitting other rocks becoming round and smooth.

Lifts and carries small particles in the air, those small particles can blast away at surfaces and slowly wear them away.

• Abrasion by WATER

• Abrasion by WIND

• Abrasion by GRAVITY

• Abrasion by PRESSURE CHANGES

Large rocks can fall from a higher slope and break more rocks below because of

• Abrasion by WATER

• Abrasion by WIND

• Abrasion by GRAVITY

• Abrasion by PLANT GROWTH
