SUPERCONTINENT THAT EXISTED 200 MILLION YEARS AGO.
WHAT IS PANGAEA?

How can ice change land?
WATER ENTERS TINY CRACKS IN ROCKS, EXPAND AS IT FREEZES, AND ENLARGES THE TINY CRACKS. oVER MANY YEARS, ICE CAN SPLIT A LARGE BOULDER.

1. The processes that change the size and shape of rocks without changing them chemically. 2. What is the process in which rocks break down due to chemical changes to the minerals.
1. What is physical weathering? 2. What is chemical weathering?

Define what affects erosion.
What are: 1. Some soils and rocks erode faster than others because of their hardness 2. The size of the rock will also affect its erosion 3. The strength of the wind or water will affect the speed of erosion, and 4. plants can affect how quickly soil erodes?

What are some events caused by plate movement?
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation

Define physical weathering and give one example.
WHAT IS PHYSICAL WEATHERING HAPPENS WHEN SUCH THINGS AS WIND AND ROCK BREAK ROCKS DOWN? THE PHYSICAL WEATHERING BREAK DOWN CAUSES THE ROCKS TO CHANGE IN SIZE AND SHAPE. THE CHEMICALS THAT MAKE UP THE ROCKS DO NOT CHANGE. TWO EXAMPLES ARE WHEN A TREE ROOT COMES UP THROUGH A ROCK AND BREAKS IT APART. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS WHEN WATER DROPS ON A ROCK AND CAUSES A HOLE.
