Weathering - Study guides, Study notes & Summaries

NREM 301 Exam 1 Questions and Answers Graded A+ What is the difference between physical and chemical weathering? Physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, while chemical weathering involves changes to the minerals in the rock due to reactions with water, air, or other chemicals. How does frost wedging contribute to physical weathering? Frost wedging occurs when water enters cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and breaks the...

LUOA Earth Science 3.9.2 (Weathering) Latest 2023 Graded A What is weathering? the changing of rocks at the Earth's surface due to exposure to certain variables The heating and cooling of rocks causes them to expand and contract. When this happens, pieces of rock flake off in a process called _________________________. It can also happen from pressure being released on the surface. exfoliation When lichen and moss grow on rocks they begin the process of ____________. biological weathering due...

What type of weathering is illustrated by the cracks in the simulated granite outcrop below? - correct answer C. Pressure release. Explanation: Granite forms from the cooling of molten magma deep below Earth's surface. As granite is uplifted, layers of rock above are eroded away, which reduces the pressure on the granite. The release of pressure causes the outer layers of rock to expand and form cracks called "exfoliation joints" parallel to t...
