Q

TYPE OF WEATHER

A
  • MECHANICAL WEATHER
  • CHEMICAL WEATHER
  • BIOLOGICAL WEATHER
17
Q

Occurs when physical forces brake rock into smaller pieces. changing the rock composition.

A

MECHANICAL WEATHER

18
Q

The mechanical brake up of rock caused by the expansion of freezing water.

A

FROST WEDGING

19
Q

Reduced pressure on igneous rock causes it to expand and allows slabs outer rock to break of in layers in a process is called exfolation

20
Q

The activity of organism, including plants, burrowing animals, and humans.

A

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

21
Q

RATE OF WEATHERING (MECHANICAL)

22
Q

Temperature and moisture are the most crucial factors.

23
Q

Is the transformation of rock into one or more new compounds.

A

CHEMICAL WEATHERING

24
Q

Weathering of potassium feldspar produces minerals soluble salt.

A

CHEMICAL WEATHERING OF GRANITE

25
Produce insoluble iron oxides and clay
WEATHERING OF SILICATE MATERIALS
26
Causes the corners and edges of rock to be more rounded.
SPHERIODAL WATHERING
27
TWO FACTORS OF AFFECTING WEATHERING
- **ROCK CHARACTERISTIC** - **CLIMATE**
28
ROCK CHARACTERISTIC
Mineral composition and solubility , Physical feature such as joint
