This type of weathering occurs when rocks weaken then break down due to chemical changes in the composition of the rock.
mechanical weathering
chemical weathering
erosion weathering
deposition
The natural chemical or physical processes that breaks down rock on Earth's surface.
weathering
erosion
deposition
How is mechanical weathering different from chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering happens over much shorter time frame than mechanical weathering.
Chemical weathering changes the chemical composition of rocks; mechanical weathering does not.
Chemical weathering occurs only in tropical climates; mechanical weathering occurs only in cool climates.
Chemical weathering occurs only in the mountains; mechanical weathering occurs only on flat land.
A metal statue slowly turning green after years of being outside is an example of:
mechanical weathering
chemical weathering
Lichens are -
Specialized plants
Flat, crusty mushrooms
A fungus living together with an algae or a bacteria
The process of the top layer of a rock continuously expanding and contracting until the layer falls off is called.....
Chemical
Exfoliation
Freeze-Thaw
Ice Wedging
Bobby observed that a metal trash can was covered with rust. What type of weathering caused the rust on the trash can?
Mechanical weathering
Wind weathering
Chemical weathering
Erosion weathering
What is the BEST explanation for what will most likely occur at this type of plate boundary?
Mountains will form because there is compression and rock folding.
Thermal vents will form because of magma flowing up under high pressure.
Volcanic eruptions will occur because the plates slide paste each other.
Earthquakes will occur when the two different plates slide pass each other.
The diagram illustrates Earth's major tectonic
plates.
Which type of landforms are most likely to be
found along the dark lines?
glaciers
deltas
volcanoes
plains
What causes mountains to form?
two oceanic plates colliding at a convergent
boundary
two continental plates spreading at a divergent
boundary
two oceanic plates spreading at a divergent
boundary
two continental plates colliding at a convergent
boundary
What does the theory of continental drift state?
New continents are continually being created
and destroyed.
All the continents were once one continent that
broke up and drifted apart over hundreds of
millions of years.
The layout of the continents is the same today
as it has always been.
The continents have always been separate but
may one day drift together to form a single
continent.
The diagram shows what happens when oceanic
crust runs into continental crust. What process is
being shown in the diagram?
subduction
seafloor spreading
divergence
connective flow
