Weathering: Chemical or Physical?
The breaking down of rock on Earth's surface into smaller pieces without changing the composition.
What is physical weathering?
Rocks breaks down from a weak acid called carbonic acid.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
This landform is created by depositing of sediments parallel to the shore. Also serves as a first line of defense during a storm.
What is a barrier beach (island)?
Spits are formed from this process.
What is wave deposition?
Oxidation or Rust
What are Chemical Weathering?
When water seeps into rocks and freezes and expands.
What is ice wedging or Freezing and Thawing?
The waves eroded the arch of an sea arch and cause the arch to collapse creating this landform.
What is a sea stack?
A kettle is formed from this process.
What is glacier deposition
Which one of these things is not an agent of weathering? - Water - Wind - Ice - Soil
What is soil?
What is abrasion?
This feature is form when sand is deposited overtime, forming a hill.
What is a sand dune?
What is gravity (mass movement)?
This type of weathering involves rock splitting due to the plant roots.
What are phsyical weathering?
The universal solvent; dissolves rocks over time.
What is water?
This feature is form from runoff erosion, it is larger than a gully, but smaller than a river.
What is a stream?
Sand dunes are formed from this process.
What is wind deposition?
What is acid rain?
This feature is form when sediments are deposited from glaciers forming a hill.
What is a moraine?
Muddy water being carried away by a fast-moving river is an example of...
What is Water Erosion?
This chemical weathering occurs when this type of rain breaks down and changes the rock?
What is Acid Rain?
