In places where there is loose sand and strong wind, the wind can pick up the sand and carry it. When the wind slows, it drops the sand. What is this process called?

• weathering

• erosion

• deposition

• oxidation

Repeated freezing and unfreezing is an example of what type of weathering?

• chemical

• erosion

• physical

• deposition

What living organisms contribute to physical weathering?

• animals

• plants

• animals and plants

• animals, plants, and water

During chemical weathering, what can happen to a rock?

• A new rock is produced that is different than the original

• A new rock is produced that is larger than the original

• A new rock is produced that is the same as the original

• No new rock is created - it is just smaller in size
