How does temperature influence chemical changes (reactions)?
Greater temperatures allow chemical reactions to occur more slowly.
Lower temperatures allow chemical reactions to occur more quickly.
Greater temperatures allow chemical reactions to occur more quickly.
Greater temperatures have no effect upon chemical changes.
Erosion can be decreased with an abundance (greater number) of _____________.
People
Plants
Pets

Sediment is produced as a result of weathering. The sediment is moved by wind, water or gravity during erosion. Which of these refers to sediment that has stopped moving after erosion?
Dissolution
Declaration
Deposition
Disposition
Chemical weathering is caused by:
Wind
Temperature Change
Acid Rain
Rust
Physical weathering is caused by:
Water

These falling rocks, sand and debris are an extreme example of _____________.
Weathering
Erosion
Both
Neither
How is weathering different from erosion?
Weathering usually happens after erosion.
Weathering usually moves materials.
Weathering breaks down (disintegrates) materials, but does not move them. Erosion moves them.
Chicken Pot Pie.
How does weathering affect material?
Physical changes cause material to disintegrate.
Chemical changes cause material to disintegrate.
Both physical and chemical changes cause material to disintegrate.
Chicken Pot Pie.
What is the effect of weathering on rocks and materials?
Weathering breaks down material and then moves it.
Weathering breaks down material but does not move it.
Chicken Pot Pie.
This process creates beaches, barrier islands, and sand bars
