| A rock that contain tiny, connected spaces through which combines 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. | acid rain |
| Some plants produce acids that result in. | chemical weathering |
| That factors that determine the rate of weathering are. | type of 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, or 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 thats occurs due to release of pressure is _________ weathering. | Mechanical |
| Plant roots that force cracks in rocks farther apart are an agent of __________ weathering. | Mechanical |
| What has a rock probably been chemically weathered by if it contains iron and becomes soft, crumbly, and reddish-brown color. | Oxygen |
| What may the growth of plant roots and animal activity result in. | Mechanical |
| What is the agent of mechanical weathering called in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of other 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 to change? | Chemical |
| What type of climate causes weathering to happen rapidly? | Hot and wet climates |
| What is ice wedging | Water freezing in rocks and acting like a wedge to break the rock apart |
| What is uniformitarianism | The same process that happened in the past |
| Why does a permeable rock weather easily? | the air holes |
| What can scientists infer from the rounded shape of the Appalachian Mountains? | They have been weathering for many years |
| 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 it expands |
| Explain how oxygen causes chemical weaterhing | Oxygen mixes with water to form oxadation |
| Predict how the city's climate will affect the weathering. 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 occur in hot and wet climates. |
