Part1 Weathering Erosion Deposition
Izabelle Bradley
- Weathering-natural process by which atmospheric and environmental agents, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose rocks.
- Erosion-the process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another.
- Deposition-the process in which material is laid down.
- Chemical Weathering-the process by which rocks break down as a result of chemical reaction.
- Types of Chemical Weathering
- water
- wind
- air
- acids
Mechanical/Physical Weathering
- The process by which rocks break down into smaller pieces by physical means.
- Different types of mechanical weathering are...
