Weathering, Erosion and Deposition

These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freezing/ thawing of water in the cracks of the rock. This is an example of:

• ice wedging

• permeability

• acid rain

• abrasion

This type of weathering occurs when rock is physically broken down into smaller pieces of rock.

• mechanical weathering

• erosion weathering

• chemical weathering

• deposition weathering

This type of weathering occurs when rocks weaken then broken down due to chemical changes in the composition of the rock.

• mechanical weathering

• mechanical erosion

• chemical erosion

• chemical weathering

How might a weathered mountain look different than an unweathered mountain?

• Weathered mountain would be taller.

• Weathered mountain would be rounder and less jagged.

• Weathered mountain would be more jagged and less round.

• Weathered mountain would have no trees.

How does freezing water cause the weathering of rocks? The freezing water ______

• keeps the rocks in place.

• makes the rocks last longer.

• expands cracks and breaks rocks.

• causes rocks to fall.

How do plants weather rocks?

• photosynthesis

• when the plants moves water from the roots to the leaves

• when roots grow into cracks of rocks and expand the rock

• movement of minerals

The process of oxidation in chemical weathering in the formation of what?

• rust

• rock

• minerals

• dirt
