rocks and weathering
review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| when plants produce acid that is what type of weathering? | chemical weathering |
| the movement of rock particles by wind water or gravity is called | erosion |
| if you leave a marble statue exposed to the weather what type of mechanical weathering? | abraision |
| what type of climate causes weathering happen rapidly? | hot and cold |
| what is ice wedging? | the freezing and thawing of water to cause cracks |
| what is uniformitarianism? | that the same thing occurs now as in the past |
| what does permeable mean? | permeable means that a rock has small air cracks that water can get through |
| describe how freezing and thawing of water causes mechanical | freezing and thawing causes mechanical weathering because it splits the rock but doesn't changing the chemical make up of the the rock |
| explain how oxygen causes chemical weathering | oxygen causes chemical weathering by causing metal to rust when mixed with whater and changes the chemical wheathering |
| a US city bought the statue and placed it outside in a park. the city has hot rainy summers and freezing winter temperatures and air pollution from the burning of coal how will the climate affect the statue? | the climate will weather it quickly because the burning coal will cause acid rain, the climate will definitely weather it fast and freezing and thawing will occur also. |
| what is rapid chemical weathering caused by air pollution? | Acid rain |
| when plants produce acid what type of weathering | chemical |
| what determens the rate of weathering | climate and type of rock |
| acid rain is what type of weathering | chemical |
| what does chemical weathering do to a rock | change the chemical make up |
| what type of weathering is freezing and thawing | mechanical |
| what moves the particles away by wind gravity or water? | erosion |
| is weathering faster or slower in a hot climate | faster |
| the gas that causes oxidation is | oxygen |
| what type of weathering is release of presure | mechanical |
| plant roots that break rocks is what type of rock is what type of weathering | mechanical |
| what type of chemical weathering causes rust? | oxygen |
| the growth of plant growth and animal activity are | mechanical weathering |
| granite will last longer when in hot or cold climate | cold |
