The Slow Process of Weathering Landforms

Weathering The breaking up of rocks by water, ice, acid rain, plant roots, and burrowing animals. Weathering can be a very SLOW process!

Water Weathering Water can dissolve the minerals in landforms.

WATER WEATHERING: Moving water can also wear down rocks:

Ice Weathering If water freezes into cracks in a rock, it will expand as it freezes, opening the cracks even more.

Acid Rain

Weathering by Acid Rain the effects of acid rain on rocks.

Weathering by Plant Roots

Weathering Caused by Burrowing of Animals
