Weathering and Erosion

Agents that transport weathered material from one place to another

how do plants, animals and humans move material

Chemical weathering changes the composition of rocks

the movement downslope of loose sediments and weathered rock bygravity

this moves an enormous amount of material by scraping and gouging sections of landscape

Weathering and erosion have been going on

Chemical weathering is most abundant in

the characteristic of rock, like how hard they are depends on

___________includes temperature, precipitation and evaporation

This has more power to move large particles of weathered material

Physical weather is most abundant in

Sedimentary rocks are harder to weather than metamorphic rocks

wind is an agent of erosion in areas with

All mass movements occur on slopes

Physical Weathering Means

Weathering means

What affects the rate of weathering?

Agents of chemical weathering

What process change Earth's landforms and form soil?

Agents that transport weathered material from one place to another

Agents of mechanical weathering

materials on these surfaces are likely to weather more

The movement downslope of loose sediments by gravity

gravity pulls materials

materials on these surfaces are likely to remain in place as they undergo changes
