Oxidation is_____________________________.
an example of chemical weathering
when oxygen reacts with compounds in rocks, causing a reaction
when the oxygen in the air mixes with precipitation

oxidation
animal action and plant action
wind, water and gravity
temperature and pressure changes
How does wind, water and gravity change the Earth's surface?
The wind blows rocks around.
Water causes rocks to move.
Gravity moves rocks.
They cause abrasion to occur, breaking rock down.
