2 Depends on… Surface Exposure Mineral Composition Climate

3 How does breaking a rock into smaller pieces cause a rock to weather faster? Insert picture See More

4 Insert a picture(s) with captions Rate of Weathering Rate of Weathering

5 Write an explanation of how the mineral composition of rocks can cause different rates of weathering. Insert picture See More

6 [ Answer these questions. Take them out of question form.] Is quartz easily weathered or resistant? Is calcite easily weathered or resistant? Which then would take longer to weather: a quartz granite or a calcite limestone? Insert picture See More

7 Explain this series of pictures. You can verbally explain it during your presentation. Chemical Weathering

8 Depends on temperature & the amount of rainfall Insert a map of world climates See More

9 Describe the kind of weathering that takes place in warm/wet climates Insert picture See More

10 Describe the kind of weathering that takes place in cold/dry climates Make a link to web animations or video clip of the rate of weathering Insert picture Sources
