EXOGENIC PROCESS

Question 1

is the breakdown of rocks into pieces without any change in its composition

Answer 1

MECHANICAL WEATHERING

Question 2

It is a process where rocks, soil and minerals are broken down or worn away over time by natural elements like wind, water or
even plants and animals.

Answer 2

WEATHERING

Question 3

Due to tectonic forces, granite may rise to form mountain range. After the granite ascends and cools, the overlying rocks and sediments may erode

Answer 3

PRESSURE

Question 4

Rocks expand and are fractured when expose to high _

Answer 4

TEMPERATURE

Question 5

rocks have fracture in its surface and when water accumulates in the crack and at that point freezes, the ice expands and breaks the rock apart

Answer 5

FROST WEDGING

Question 6

if the temperature drops to 0°C (freezing point of water), it also _ and causes _.

Answer 6

EXPAND ; FRACTURE

Question 7

breakdown of rocks is caused by impact and friction

Answer 7

ABRASION

Question 8

This primarily occurs during collision of rocks, sand, and silt due to current or waves along a stream or seashore causing sharp edges and corners to wear off and become rounded.

Answer 8

ABRASION

Question 9

The roots grow causing penetration into the crack, expand, and in the long run, break the rock.

Answer 9

ORGANIC ACTIVITY

Question 10

Activities such as digging, quarrying, denuding forests and cultivating land contribute to physical weathering.

Answer 10

HUMAN ACTIVITY

Question 11

Animals like rats, rabbits and squirrels excavate into the ground to create a space for habitation.

Answer 11

BURROWING ANIMALS

Answer 15

STALACTITES ; STALAGMITES

Question 16

Rock-forming minerals like amphibole, pyroxene, and feldspar react with water and form different kinds of clay minerals.

Answer 16

Question 19

example of oxidation

Answer 19

RUSTING

Question 20

is a mixture of grains, organic matter, H2O, and gas.

Answer 20

SOIL

Question 21

is the separation and removal of weathered rocks due to different agents like water, wind, and glacier that causes transportation of the material to where they are deposited.

Answer 21

EROSION

Question 22

what plays an important role in the erosional process.

Answer 22

Plants, animals, and humans

Question 23

when those sediments are deposited, or dropped off, in a different location / filed up rocks due to erosion

Answer 23

DEPOSITION
