16
Q

heat changes in temperature caused the rocks to expand and contract and this breaks the rocks apart.

A

Thermal stress

17
Q

rock disintegration forms new compounds or new substances caused by chemical reactions

A

Chemical Weathering

18
Q

A. Oxidation
B. Carbonation
C. Hydrolysis

A

Chemical Weathering

19
Q

water+ Carbonation dioxide = acid (this carbon acid breaks down and weakens rocks caves may be formed by carbonation, dissolving limestone rainwater picks up the co2

A

Carbonation

20
Q

changes to new substances chemically

A

CHEMICAL -

21
Q

oxygen combines with iron in the rock and creates new compound; iron + oxygen inun oxide commonly known as rust, and this weakens the rocks

A

Oxidation

22
Q

hydrogen or hydrate replaces the ion and creates a new substance; eg water plus creel clay

A

Hydrolysis

23
Q

This happens when the disintegrations or rocks are caused by living organisms such as humans, animals, and plants.

A

Biotic Weathering

24
Q

refers to the downslope movement of rock, regolith, and soil because of gravity.

A

Mass Wasting

25
Q

Creep, Slump, Landslides, Mudslides, and Avalanches

A

Mass movement

26
Q

Involves the movement of the weathered rock (snow, soil, sand and pebbles) from their site of weathering by the agents of erosion such as wind, moving water, ice and gravity

A

Erosion

27
Q

Particles of rock are dissolved in the water and carried along without being seen.

A

TRACTION

28
Q

Large boulders and rocks are ‘rolled’ along the bed of the river

A

SALTATION

29
Q

Smaller pebbles and stones are ‘bounced’ along the bed of the river.

A

SUSPENSION

30
Q

Smaller particles of silt and sand are held within the water and transported along in the flow of water

A

SOLUTION

31
Q

process by which sediments are moved along from the substrate due to they are deposited

A

transportation
