What does it mean
?
?
The breaking down of rock on Earth's surface into smaller pieces.
What is weathering?
Wind and water can carry sand and small pieces of rock to new locations. What is this process called?
What is Deposition?
Volcanoes change Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is quickly?
The difference between weathering and erosion is:
a. weathering causes a quick change in landforms and erosion causes a slow change in landforms.
b. weathering breaks rocks into sediments and erosion moves sediment from one place to another.
What is B?
Mountains, islands, valleys, canyons, volcanos and other surface features of the land.
What are landforms?
When rainwater seeps into cracks in rocks and __________, it expands and causes the rock to split apart.
What is freezes?
Weathering changes Earth's surface...(slowly/quickly)
What is slowly?
The difference between erosion and deposition is:
a. erosion moves sediment from one place to another and deposition is a physical feature on the Earth.
b. deposition is the process of dropping, or depositing , sediment in a new location and erosion is the process of moving sediment from one place to another.
What is B?
The process by which weathered rock and sediments are carried away/moved
What is erosion?
Hot liquid made of melted minerals is ___________. The minerals can form ____________ when they cool
What is magma, crystals?
Erosion can change the shape of the land faster than a volcano can. True or False.
What is False?
Name a difference between weathering and erosion.
What is weathering makes things smaller, and erosion moves it?
Nonliving, solid material that are formed in nature and make up rocks
What are minerals?
The rock cycle is a process of rocks changing into from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic to magma back to igneous, and not always in that order. Name at least 3 of the factors causing rocks to change
What is weathering, erosion, heat, pressure, melting, cooling
Water can weather rock by:
A. eroding soil
B. by freezing and melting
C. Heating and cooling
What is freezing and melting?
The difference between Astronomy and Geology
What is Astronomy - the study of space and Geology the study of Rocks and the Earth's surface
This rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals
What is Igneous?
Weathering that is caused by wind, sand, rain, freezing, thawing, and other natural forces that can physically alter or change a rock
What is physical or mechanical weathering?
Landslides are quick changes to the land. They can be caused by:
A. magma and rain
B. gravity and rain
C. Ice and wind
What is gravity and rain?
The difference between physical and chemical weathering is:
A. Physical weathering just breaks things apart and chemical weathering changes the rocks forever.
B. Physical weathering breaks things apart and chemical weathering burns rocks with chemicals.
What is A?
