  • Q11
    Most caves are formed through chemical weathering. Which of the following is the best explanation of how this process takes place?
    Question Image
    Plants’ roots dig deep into rock, causing it to break and open up into caves.
    Earthquakes shake the ground, causing large pieces of rock to break loose, forming caves.
    Digging animals dig out holes in the rock, creating caves.
    Carbonic acid (acid rain) seeps into the ground, dissolving some of the rock, creating caves.

  • Q15
    Is it possible to have weathering without erosion? Explain
    Yes it is possible because weathering causes erosion, and the weathered rock does NOT always get moved (eroded).
    No, because erosion and weathering do not have anything to do with each other in any way.
    Yes it is possible because erosion happens first, then weathering.
    No, while it IS possible for weathering to occur without erosion it is highly unlikely. The rock would simply pile up and, at some point, would eventually be moved by wind or water.
