Physical Weathering occurs fastest in this type of environment: ( Disintegration ) Abrasion Scratching/hardness Freeze/Thaw Physical Weathering occurs fastest in this type of environment: Expand/contract cold, moist

Chemical Weathering occurs fastest in this type of environment: oxidation carbonation Chemical [Decomposition] hydrolysis Chemical Weathering occurs fastest in this type of environment: warm, moist

ACID RAIN

Pebbles Sand Silt Clay Which will weather faster and why? Surface Area and Weathering Which will weather faster and why? Pebbles Sand Silt Clay Why will smaller particles weather faster? smaller particles have larger surface areas because it is the smallest
