| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| some plants produce acids which result in _____ weathering . | chemical |
| a rock that contains tiny, connected spaces through which water can move is said to be _______. | permeable |
| one agent of chemical weathering is _______ which combines with water to form carbonic acid | carbon dioxide |
| the actions of animals most commonly can cause the type of weathering known as ___________. | Mechanical |
| rapid chemical weathering can be caused by ________ , which is rain combined with pollutants. | acid rain |
| some plants produce that result in ____ weathering. | mechanical |
| the factors that determines the rate of weathering are the type of ______ and the ________ . | rock and climate |
| acid rain causes very rapid _________ weathering. | chemical |
| the most important agent of chemical weathering is _____. | water |
| after chemical weathering, the chemical makeup of the weathered rock is ____ than the original rock. | different |
| freezing and thawing are an example of _______ weathering | mechanical |
| the movement of rock particles by ice, wind , water , and gravity is called ________. | erosion |
| the rate of chemical weathering is ________ in hot, wet climates than in cold, dry climates. | faster |
| the gas that causes rock containing iron to oxidize is ___________. | oxygen |
| the type of weathering that occurs due to release of pressure is _____ weathering | mechanical |
| plant roots that force cracks in rocks farther apart are and agent of _____ weathering. | mechanical |
| what has a rock probably been chemically weathered by if it contains iron and becomes soft, crumbly, and a reddish - brown in color. | oxygen |
| what may the growth of plant roots and animals activity result in | mechanical weathering |
| what is the agent of mechanical weathering called in which rocks is worn away by grinding action of tother rock particles | abrasion |
| granite will last a long time when it is used for building in what type of climate | cold climate |
| what kind of weathering causes the mineral composition of rocks of rocks to change | chemical |
| what type of climate causes weathering to happen rapidly | hot and wet |
| what is ice wedging | rocks widen and deepen cracks when water freezes in the cracks |
| what is uniformation | the processes that operates todaythat operated in the past |
| why does a permeable rock weather easily | because of the holes it has |
| what can scientists infer from the rounded shape of the Appalachian Mountains | they have been there for a long time and they wear down over time and they are old |
| a marble statue is left exposed to the weather. what agent of mechanical weathering probably will cause it to weather | freezing and thawing |
| describe how freezing and thawing of water causes mechanical weathering | when water freezes in a crack in a rock, it expands and makes the crack widen. |
| explain how oxygen causes chemical weathering | oxidation causes chemical weathering |
| predict how the city's climate will affect the weathering of the statue .give reasons for your prediction | some of the reasons why the statue may weather is because of the pollution and the wet climate would cause acid rain, the hot /cold climate may result in freezing and thawing and ice wedging, and the fastest weathering occurs in hot and cold climates. |
