This type of weathering is the result of water breaking rock into bits called sediment.
Water weathering
An easy way to remember the difference between erosion and weathering.
Weathering breaks; erosion takes
Erosion sounds like go
When the plates moves together. Continental runs into continental. Causes earthquakes.
Convergent plates movement. Continent runs into continent.
The oldest layer of sedimentary rock. Might contain fossils.
The bottom layer.
This type of weathering happens when plants or animals break rocks into bits called sediments.
Biological weathering
This type of Erosion is when wind moves bits of rock called sediment.
Wind erosion
When the plates move together. The oceanic plate moves under the continental plate. Causes Volcanoes and Earthquakes.
Convergent, with oceanic going under earthquake
Type of rock formed when rocks are squished and pressed together over long periods of time and pressure.
Metamorphic rock.
This type of weathering takes place when chemicals make changes to the rock.
Chemical Weathering
This type of erosion is when a river moves bits of rock called sediment.
Water erosion
When the plates run next to each other. Causes Earthquakes.
Conservative pate movement.
Type of rock formed when magma and lava cools.
Igneous rock
