REVIEW How does acid rain weather rocks? What are some of the other effects of acid rain on the environment? When acids in the environment react with the minerals in rocks and break them down. Acid rain can hurt plants, acidify water in likes and streams, and then hurt aquatic life.

What factors might affect the rate at which rock weathers? Rates of Weathering What factors might affect the rate at which rock weathers?

Major Factors Affecting Weathering

FACTOR: ROCK COMPOSITION Differential Weathering: Softer, less weather-resistant rock wears away faster. Harder, more resistant rock is left behind. Cave carving sandstone (video).

FACTOR: ROCK COMPOSITION Rocks weather at different rates due to chemical composition. Quartz is resistant to weathering. Limestone and other sedimentary rocks containing calcite weather most rapidly due to carbonization. Shales and sandstones are not firmly cemented together and break up easily.

FACTOR: CLIMATE Precipitation and temperature of an area are both part of climate. Chemical weathering is most rapid in hot, wet climates. The slowest weathering occurs in cold, dry climates.

FACTOR: EXPOSURE Surface Area – the part of a rock that is exposed to air, water and other agents of weathering. Most weathering occurs on exposed surfaces of rocks and minerals. Surface area increases as rock breaks into smaller pieces. More Surface area = more exposure and greater rate of weathering. Mechanical weathering makes chemical weathering faster by breaking rock into smaller pieces and exposing more surface area.

FACTOR: EXPOSURE Exposed rock on a slope is most likely to weather quickly.

OTHER FACTORS Topography and Elevation – Gravity Rainfall, temperature, organic activity plus…. Topography and Elevation – Gravity Land – slope affects water movement – pulled downhill by gravity. Weathered rock fragments on steep slopes are pulled downhill by gravity and washed out by rain.

OTHER FACTORS Human Activity Mining, constructions, anything that clears surface Plant and Animal Activity Digging, biological wastes

WEATHERING RATE

REVIEW What type of climate will have least amount of weathering? Hot and wet Cold and wet Hot and dry Cold and dry

LAB Surface area is the measure of how much exposed area an object has. When physical weathering breaks down rock, a larger surface area of the rock is exposed, and the more weathering (physical and chemical) can occur. In this lab you will model the chemical weathering process and observe how the rate of weathering changes when surface area is increased.

LAB Determine how surface area (exposure) affects the rate at which materials weather Compare rates of “weathering”: Whole tablet Broken tablet How does surface area affect the rate of weathering? What are some of the physical processes that can increase surface area?

LAB Materials: Graduated cylinder Cup 2 Alka-Seltzer tablets Room temperature water Index card Timer

LAB Procedures: Pour 50 mL of water into your cup. Get your timer ready. You will need to record the time it takes for each Alka-Seltzer tablet to completely dissolve. Place the first tablet in the water. Measure the time it takes to COMPLETELY react. You will know it has completely reacted because there will be no more bubbling. Record the time in the data table. Empty the cup, rinse it and refill with 50 mL of water. Break up the second tablet on the index card. Pour the broken tablet into the cup. Measure the time it takes to COMPLETELY react. Record the time in the data table. Obtain data from two other teams. Average the results to find out the average time for the broken and whole tablets to dissolve.

LAB

LAB Analysis: What differences in reaction rates did you observe between the two samples? How did your data compare to the two other groups’ data? Which tablet had the greatest surface area exposed to the water, the unbroken one or the broken up one? What type of weathering did breaking up the tablet represent, mechanical or chemical? Explain! What type of weathering did the tablet in the water represent, mechanical or chemical? Explain!  What is the relationship between surface area and reaction time?
