- Q11Which of the following is NOT a form of mechanical weathering?OxidationRoot wedgingAbrasionFrost wedging30s
- Q12What is the main difference between chemical and mechanical weathering?Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while mechanical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks.Chemical weathering occurs only in hot climates, while mechanical weathering occurs in cold climates.Chemical weathering involves the physical disintegration of rocks, while mechanical weathering involves chemical reactions.Chemical weathering is caused by temperature changes, while mechanical weathering is caused by water erosion.Chemical weathering occurs only on Earth's surface, while mechanical weathering occurs both below and above the surface.30s
- Q13Which of the following is an example of chemical weathering?The cracking of a rock due to a freeze-thaw cycle.The formation of rust on a metal surface.A rock being broken down by the movement of a glacier.The abrasion of rocks by wind-blown sand.The erosion of a river carving through rock layers.30s
- Q14Which of the following is an example of mechanical weathering?The decomposition of organic matter in soil.The formation of rust on a metal surface.The cracking of a rock due to a freezing-thawing cycle.The erosion of a river carving through rock layers.The dissolving of limestone by acidic rainwater.30s
- Q15Which of the following characteristics is associated with mechanical weathering?The growth of plants and tree roots in rock cracks.The formation of new minerals from existing rock compounds.The dissolution of minerals by acidic substances.The physical disintegration of rocks into smaller fragments.The breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions.30s
