Do Now: Compare the 2 obelisk pictures.

1. Weathering and Erosion erosion carries the pieces away. a. Weathering breaks down rock into sediments b. Weathering and erosion work together to change Earth’s surface.

2. Weathering: Physical and chemical processes that break down and change the shape of rock on Earth’s surface. Physical weathering = mechanical changes Chemical weathering = chemical changes weaken the rock

Physical Change: Does not produce a new substance Changes phase or shape Ex: cutting, melting, freezing Chemical Change: New substances are formed Ex: burning, rusting

3. Physical (mechanical) weathering: a. The rock is: broken into smaller pieces peeled or cracked edges are worn down b. The rock is the same type, but changed in size and shape.

4. Types of physical weathering 1. Ice wedging or frost action: Repeated freezing and thawing (melting) of ice/water 2. Plant growth: in cracks of rocks 3. Animal action: digging or burrowing 4. Abrasion: grinding away of rock pieces carried by water, wind, ice, or gravity. 5. Temperature Change: Heating expands rock and Cooling contracts rock

Ice wedging – repeated freezing and thawing of ice in cracks of rocks eventually splits the rock.

Why does water break apart rocks when it freezes? Water expands (gets bigger) when it freezes! Why does ice float?

Plant growth – seeds can drop into cracks in rocks and grow…eventually splitting the rock.

Abrasion – sharp edges get worn down and smoothed by water

Heating/Cooling or freeze/thawing can crack roads

Abrasion by wind

5. What does a rock look like that weathered in water? 1. Rocks weathered in water are rounded and smooth. 2. Water causes more weathering and erosion than any other force on earth.

6. What do gravity and glaciers do to rocks? Abrasion by gravity and glaciers breaks rocks into jagged pieces.
