Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Review

Breaking rocks into smaller pieces

Carrying rocks from one place to another

Dropping rocks in a new location

Rocks break apart without changing their chemical composition

Rocks dissolve in water and change their chemical composition

Rocks melt due to high temperatures

Rocks form new minerals through chemical reactions

Because it only breaks rocks into smaller pieces

Because it adds new chemicals to the rocks

Because it melts the rocks

Because it dissolves the rocks in water

Water enters a crack, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break

Water evaporates from the surface of the rock

Rocks are dissolved by acid rain

Rocks are broken by animal movement

The liquid inside expands as it freezes, causing the can to burst

The metal of the can contracts and breaks

The soda evaporates quickly in cold temperatures

The can rusts and falls apart

The process where repeated heating and cooling causes rocks to break

The process where water dissolves minerals in rocks

The process where plants grow into cracks in rocks

The process where wind erodes the surface of rocks
