The process that occurs when physical forces break rock into smaller pieces without changing the rock’s chemical composition is called

Which of the following weathering processes involves the constant freezing and thawing of water?

The inscriptions on marble gravestones become harder and harder to read over time. This is caused by

When a rock is exposed to chemical weathering, it

Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects the rate of weathering in rocks?

Chemical weathering is highest in areas that are

Which of the following is NOT a major component of soil?

Which of the following is NOT true about mass movement?

Mass movement is the transfer of rock and soil down slope due to

Quick moving mass of material containing a large amount of water

when rocks fall freely through the air

slides that include segments of bedrock

a vertical section of all the soil horizons

a layer of rock and mineral fragments from weathering

the transfer of rock and soil down slope due to gravity

a combination of mineral, organic material, water, and air, that supports plant growth

a variation of soil that divides it into zones

transforming of rock into one or more new compound

slabs of rock break loose like the layers of an onion

water freezing and thawing to break rock

the downward movement of a block of material along a curved surface, slow, and does not move far

This causes the corners and edges of rock to be rounded

What are three factors that affect soil formation?

What are two things that trigger mass movements?

The two most crucial factors that affect the rate of weathering are temperature and amount of moisture
