Weathering and Erosion

Weathering The breakdown do the materials of Earth’s crust into smaller pieces.Different from erosion

Physical Weathering Process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by external conditions. Types of Physical weathering Frost heaving and Frost wedging Plant roots Friction and impact Burrowing of animals Temperature changes

Frost Wedging

Frost Heaving

Plant Roots

Friction and Repeated Impact

Burrowing of Animals

Temperature Changes

Chemical Weathering The process that breaks down rock through chemical changes. The agents of chemical weathering Water Oxygen Carbon dioxide Living organisms Acid rain

Water Water weathers rock by dissolving it

Oxygen Iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water in a processes called oxidation The product of oxidation is rust

Carbon Dioxide CO2 dissolves in rain water and creates carbonic acid Carbonic acid easily weathers limestone and marble

Living Organisms Lichens that grow on rocks produce weak acids that chemically weather rock

Acid Rain Compounds from burning coal, oil and gas react chemically with water forming acids. Acid rain causes very rapid chemical weathering

Erosion The process by which water, ice, wind or gravity moves fragments of rock and soil.

Water Erosion Rivers, streams, and runoff

Ice Erosion Glaciers

Wind Erosion
