What is weathering? Weathering is the SLOW wearing away of rocks into smaller pieces.

???? How did those rocks become so smooth?

There are 4 causes to weathering…..

Ice causes weathering……….

How did ice cause this?

Roots cause weathering……

Roots caused this……

Chemicals cause weathering….

How did chemicals cause this type of weathering?

Water can cause weathering…….

These were formed by water…….

Water caused these too……

And water caused this……

Talk to a neighbor about where you have observed weathering…….

Do you know what caused your observed weathering?
