PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Weathering

by aiden maze

Ice Wedging

a crack in the ground formed by a narrow or thin piece of ice

Water Abrasion

the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and move particles by running water

Wind Abrasion

the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles by wind

Wind Abrasion

the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles by wind

Gravity Abrasion

the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles with gravity

Plant growth

a growth regulator for plants

Animal Action

When animals are in action (moving, digging, etc...)

Acid Rain

a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic

Acids in Ground Water

Water that collects or flows beneath the Earth's surface, filling the porous spaces in soil, sediment, and rocks that is asidic

OXIDATION

he loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion

Surface Area

The surface area affects weathering by how large or small the area is. It can slow it down or speed it up

Moisture

Moisture affects weathering like when its wet it will erode faster and when its dry it will erode slower

Temperature

Same with Moisture, temperature will factor the time

Slope

The slope would affect weathering by having landslides or something and would crash on other rock

Biological Factors

This would affect weathering by speeding up, slowing down, or at different rates
