2  Processes driven by earth’s interior heat are responsible for igneous and metamorphic  Weathering and erosion are powered by energy from sun to produce sedimentary

3  Weathering makes sediments  Erosion and deposition move the sediments  Wind, water, ice, and gravity  Compaction and Cementation create ‘rocks’

4

5  Frost wedging- ice expands and breaks rocks  Potholes in roads  Unloading- less pressure on upper layers cause it to expand faster and crack  Like a loaf of bread  Biological- expanding tree roots break rocks

6  Water is THE agent  Mixed with oxygen can RUST iron-rich rocks  Mixed with CO 2 makes carbonic acid  Mixed with SO 2 makes acid rain

7  Mechanical increases rate of Chemical weathering by breaking rocks into smaller pieces with increases surface area for reactions

8  Amount of Freeze-Thaw  Type of vegetation  High temp & high moisture best for chemical weathering  Dry and cold have slower rate of weathering

9  Made by weathering  mineral matter,Air, water, organic matter  Classified based on % of clay, sand, silt
