Water, air, and weak acids are examples of
mechanical weathering
erosion
chemical weathering
deposition
Wind, water, ice, or gravity transport (move) soil. This is called

Glaciers can move about 3 feet per day. How does a glacier create new soil?
By moving plant material to the ocean
By scraping small particles off large rocks
By melting rocks
By freezing small particles of soil
