It is the break-down of rocks and minerals on Earth’s surface. It is the picking up and moving of materials.
What is weathering and erosion.
200
All the air touching the earth. An example of erosion that this causes is...
What is the atmosphere. Carbonic acid or sulfuric acid (acid rain), wind.

If a topo maps lowest elevation is 100 and highest elevation is 1000, what is the relief for this map?
What is 900. Highest elevation - lowest elevation = relief on that map. Relief is the change in distance from lowest to highest.

How would contour lines look for a steep slope? What about a gentle slope?
What is very close together for a steep slope and much farther apart for a gentle slope. What would these landforms be called?
300
A pH of 5 is an example of what?
A pH of 1 is an example of what?
What is 5 is an example of a weak acid such as acid rain and 1 is an example of a strong acid such as stomach acid.

Define contour lines AND contour interval.
What is contour lines connect points that have the same elevation and contour interval is the amount of elevation between contour lines. If a bottom contour line is 500 and the next contour line is 1000 and in between are two lines with no elevation what is the contour interval of this map?

What is the cryosphere and how does it contribute to weathering?
What is all ice on earth and examples of weathering are ice wedging, continental glaciers, valley or alpine glaciers...
