Weathering_and_Erosion

Weathering and Erosion Weathering The breakdown do the materials of Earth’s crust into smaller pieces. Physical Weathering Process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by external conditions. Types of Physical weathering Frost heaving and Frost wedging Plant roots Friction and impact Burrowing of animals Temperature changes Frost Wedging Frost Heaving Plant Roots Friction and Repeated Impact Burrowing of Animals Temperature Changes Chemical Weathering The process that breaks down rock through chemical changes. The agents of chemical weathering Water Oxygen Carbon dioxide Living organisms Acid rain Water Water weathers rock by dissolving it Oxygen Iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water in a processes called oxidation The product of oxidation is rust Carbon Dioxide CO2 dissolves in rain water and creates carbonic acid Carbonic acid easily weathers limestone and marble Living Organisms Lichens that grow on rocks produce weak acids that chemically weather rock Acid Rain Compounds from burning coal, oil and gas react chemically with water forming acids. Acid rain causes very rapid chemical weathering Karst Topography A type of landscape in rainy regions where there is limestone near the surface, characterized by caves, sinkholes, and disappearing streams. Created by chemical weathering of limestone Features of Karst: Sinkholes Features of Karst: Caves Features of Karst: Disappearing Streams Erosion The process by which water, ice, wind or gravity moves fragments of rock and soil. Water Erosion Rivers, streams, and runoff Ice Erosion Glaciers Wind Erosion Mass Movements Landslides, mudslides, slump and creep * *
