Is carsten sigma?
yes
How does abrasion change the shape of rocks?
Over time it makes it change from.
What is ice wedging?
Ice wedging is a common type of physical weathering that occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and wedges the rocks apart.
Glaciers move mostly by a?
Abrasion
What are the different types of weathering?
There are three main types of weathering:
What is the relationship between weathering and erosion?
What is the relationship between weathering and erosion?
Weathering breaks down rocks and minerals, while erosion is the process of moving the broken down pieces away.
How can erosion be controlled?
One way to control erosion is to plant vegetation on a simulated hillside to see if it reduces erosion during simulated rainfall.
What is accelerated erosion?
type of erosion that happens when human activities cause the rate of erosion to exceed the natural rate
What is deposition?
When rivers drop sediments into lakes or oceans, it is called deposition.
T OR F Weathering breaks things down
True
How is weathering different from erosion?
Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface, while erosion is the transportation of those broken-down pieces by natural forces like wind or water
What is erosion
Erosion is the process by which natural forces like wind, water, or ice move weathered particles
What is abrasion?
Abrasion is another type of weathering that occurs when rocks are struck or scraped by other rocks or sediments.
yes

What are some examples of erosion?
The Grand Canyon was formed by water erosion, while sand dunes are formed by wind erosion.
What is the difference between erosion and weathering?
Weathering is the process by which rocks break down, while erosion is the process by which weathered particles are moved. Weathering and erosion often work together, as weakened rocks are removed by erosion.
is gavin sigma
very much
Is erosion fast or slow
slow
What are the main causes of erosion
Water, Wind, Ice, Gravity
Why is there more chemical weathering in warm and wet climates?
The warm temperatures of the tropical climate around the equator increases the rate of chemical reactions.
T OR F Oxidation is part of the Weathering process
True
How does mechanical weathering make it easier for a rock to be chemically weathered?
Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into many pieces, creating more surface area for chemical weathering.
What factors influence erosion?
Factors that influence erosion include fluid velocity, particle size and concentration, pipe material, and flow regime.
Why is their less chemical weathering in dry climates?
There is little chemical weathering in dry climates like deserts because there is little water needed for chemical reactions.
