WEATHERING

WHAT IS WEATHERING

• Weathering is the process of breaking down material
• There are many different types of weathering
• But the two types are physical or chemical weathering

PHYSICAL WEATHERING

• The process in which rocks are broke down by force
• These types of weathering include-
• Plant roots
• Frost wedging
• And Temperature change

CHEMICAL WEAThering

• Chemical Weathering breaks down rock using chemical change
• Chemical changes can occur from-
• Water
• Acid Rain
• and Carbon Dioxide

EROSION AND DEPOSITION

• Erosion is the process of carrying away small rocks
• Deposition is the depositing of those rocks
• Those small rocks are then carried off to form new rocks

FORMING NEW ROCKS

• The eroded sediment is carried of by the elements
• It is deposited in a new place where it is compacted until...
• It becomes a sedimentary rock and now repeats the rock cycle
