It is the on-site breakdown or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth

Weathering

It can be brought about by many agents such as water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature.

Weathering

Can be CHEMICAL or MECHANICAL

Weathering

It is the physical breakdown of rock into unconnected grains or chunks without changing its composition.

Disaggregation

Key aspect of physical weathering

Water

Give 5 examples pf mechanical weathering

Exfoliation


Frost wedging


Root wedging


Salt wedging


Human activities

What type of mechanical weathering is this?

Exfoliation

What type or mechanical weathering is this?

Root wedging

What type of mechanical weathering is this?

Salt wedging

What type of mechanical weathering is this?

Frost wedging

It occurs when there are chemical changes in at least some of the composition of the rock.

Chemical weathering

In ________ rocks and minerals reacts to acids, oxygen, carbon and water.

Chemical weathering

Give 4 examples of chemical weathering

Dissolution


Carbonation


Hydration


Oxidation


Hydrolysis

It is a surface or near-surface process that is not influenced by high temperature or pressure.


What reaction that causes the rocks to weather?

Chemical reaction

In ________ water breaks down mineral grains into the elements that make them up

Dissolution

It happens in certain minerals which are dissolved in water – pure water and acidic water- especially when it rains.

Dissolution/ Carbonation

Explain the process of dissolution/ carbonation and give one example.

As rain goes through the air and into the ground, it grabs carbon dioxide, creating carbonic acid. This weak acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in stones when it seeps into the cracks


Example: limestone

________ is a type of chemical weathering where water reacts chemically with the rock, modifying its chemical structure. Water is absorbed into the crystal structure of the mineral, causing it to expand.

Hydration

True or fase


Oxidation creates different types of rocks

False - hydration

It is the reaction of oxygen with minerals in the rock.

Oxidation

In _________ oxygen reacts with the original material to create new material.

Oxidation

True or false


Hydrolysis is characterized by red, orange, and yellow stains that look like rust

False - oxidation

What is the most common example of hydrolysis

Feldspar

Where can u find the feldspar?

Granite changing to clay

In __________ elements in water (hydrogen and oxygen) replace elements in the original material, creating a new substance.

Hydrolysis

Give the three factors that affects weathering

Climate


Hardness


Surface area

It is the separation and removal of weathered rocks and soil due to gravity or transporting agents like wind, ice or water.

Erosion

It commonly occurs in flat,bare areas or dry, sandy, and loose soil

Wind erosion


It detaches soil particles and transports them by wind

Wind erosion

It is a permanent body of ice, which consists largely of recrystallized snow and shows evidence of movement due to gravity.

Glacier

The erosion process is dominant in ____________ and in high altitude mountains

Polar regions

is caused by the detachment and transport of soil by rainfall, runoff, melting snow or ice, and irrigation.

Water

True or false


Glacier is the most common agent of erosion since it can pick-up millions of tons of sediments every day

False - Water

It is the downslope movement of rock, soil, and ice due to the force of gravity

Mass wasting ( mass movement )

It is also a natural hazard that can cause damage to life and property

Mass wasting ( mass movement )

Give 4 causes of mass wasting

Increased steepness


Increased water


Decreased vegetation


Earthquakes

It is the process in which sediments settle out of the transporting medium

Deposition

What do you call the areas where sediments are deposited?

SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENT

Sedimentary environment can be _______ give 6

Glacial


Desert


Lake


River


Delta


Beach


Shallow/ deep marine environment

What step is this in weathering?

Step 3

What step is this in weathering?

Step 1

What step is this in weathering?

Step 2

What step is this in weathering?

Step 4

True or false


As water spread out over the surface of the land, (grow), they can change the shape of the land.

False - glacier

True or fase


Weathering can be chemical or mechanical

True

Give one example of wind erosion

Sand dunes in panay, ilocos norte
