Geological Processes Review

When water, ice and wind move particles of rock and soil from one place to another

• sediment
• weathering
• erosion

When rocks are broken down into smaller pieces

• erosion
• weathering
• sediment

Water, wind, gravity, ice, plants are all part of this kind of weathering

• Chemical

• Mechanical

Roots break apart a side walk

• Chemical weathering
• Physical weathering

These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freeze/thaw of water in the cracks of the rocks. This is an example of:

• ice wedging
• acid rain
• permeability
• abrasion
