- Q1is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical meansmechanical weathering30s
- Q2starts when water seeps into cracks during warm weather, when the temperature drops, the water freezes and expands causing the crack in the rock to widen. This happens over and over until the rock eventually breaksice wedging30s
- Q3the grinding and wearing away of rock surfaces through the mechanical action of other rock or sand particlesabrasion30s
- Q4is weathering caused by living things (organisms) can occur mechanically or chemically (plants and animals)biological weathering30s
- Q5the process by which rocks break down as a result of chemical reactionschemical weathering30s
- Q6rain, sleet, or snow, that contains a high concentration of acids mainly from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oilacid precipitation30s
- Q7is a chemical reaction in which an element, such as iron, combines with oxygen to form an oxideoxidation30s
- Q8is the process by which rock materials are broken down by the action of physical or chemical processes.weathering30s
- Q9the process of by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transport (moves) soil and sediment from one place to anothererosion30s
- Q10the process in which materials is laid down or dropped when erosional forces (wind, water, glaciers, gravity) loss their energydeposition30s
- Q11the process by which softer, less weather resistant rocks wear away and leave harder, more weather resistance rocks behinddifferential weathering30s
- Q12The more _________ _________ of a rock that is exposed to weathering , the faster the rock will be worn down.Surface Area30s
- Q13Chemical weathering occurs faster in _________ and ________ climates.Warm and Humid (Wet)30s
- Q14is the average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.Climate30s
- Q15Weathering occurs faster at high elevations because of an increase in __________, _________, and _________.ice, rain, and wind30s
