The process of breaking a rock down into smaller pieces.
texture
weathering
sediment
erosion
During mechanical weathering
the chemical composition of the rock changes
the rock is broken into smaller pieces
sediments are cemented into sedimentary rock
lave cools slowly to form igneous rocks
What is frost wedging?
When a glacier moves slowly through a valley and shapes the sides
The formation of rocks when lava cools on a bed of snow
The chemical weathering that occurs when ice freezes
The mechanical weathering that occurs when water turns to ice in the crevice of a rock.
Which of the following is TRUE about chemical weathering
The corners of a rock are weathered first
Acid rain is the only way this type of weathering occus
The rock is broken into smaller pieces but the chemical composition is still the same
This happens fastest in cold climates like the north pole.
