Breaking those rocks
Water fun
I feel the earth move under my feet
Its getting hot out here
Let's catch a wave dude
100
The process that occurs when physical forces break rock into smaller pieces without changing the rock's chemical composition.
What is mechanical weathering
100
The unending circulation of Earth's water supply
What is the water cycle
100
These are usually associated with earthquakes.
What is faults
100
The one thing that a magma's viscosity directly relates to.
What is silica content
100
The energy that drives surface ocean currents.
What is the wind
200
The weathering process that involves the constant freezing and thawing of water.

500
The smallest daily tidal range occurs during this type of tide.
What is neap tide
