Earth Science Weathering, Deposition, Erosion, and Soil

Identify the type of erosion based on the picture.

T/F: Gravity pulls all materials, such as glaciers and rivers, upslope.

T/F: In chemical weathering the higher the temperature, the slower the chemical reaction.

T/F: Mechanical weathering is when rock and minerals breakdown into larger pieces.

T/F: Chemical weathering is when rocks and minerals undergo changes to their composition.

T/F: Bedrock is the layer of soil that is most affected by weathering and erosion.

The Mississippi is a classic example of which type of erosion?

Identify the type of weathering based on the picture.

T/F: Topsoil contains the majority of nutrients, minerals, and organic matter.

Identify the type of weathering based on the picture.

All of the following are factors involving mechanical weathering except...

Which of the following is not a characteristic of chemical weathering?

T/F: Deposition is when materials carried by water, wind, or ice settle and are left behind.

Which of the following is NOT a main cause of soil formation?

T/F: Acid rain is formed by the oxidation of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

T/F: Climate has no effect on weathering.

T/F: Shale has the highest level of porosity.
