1. Chemical and physical weathering
By Sydney Sparger
Mr.Limpert 4th period

2. Acid rain (chemical)
Acid rain causes statues and buildings to wear away
In the picture it shows the wall has faded its normal color

3. Acids in living things (chemical)
Acids in living this is created when living things leave acids behind and it creates something else
In the first picture there is some lichens
In the second picture its moss

4. Acids in air/rusting and oxidation (chemical)
Rust is a form of oxidation
Rust forms by water and air acting on iron
In the picture is a rusty IRON chain

5. Ice wedging (physical)
Ice wedging is formed when water gets into cracks in the rock and the temperature drops and it freezes and expands
In the picture it shows the after effect of ice wedging

6. Wind abrasion (physical)
Wind abrasion happens when the wind blows dirt or sand against the rock and wears it down

7. Water abrasion (physical)
Water abrasion happens when rushing water runs on the rocks a wears them down to sediments
In the picture it shows running water rushing over the rocks

8. Gravity abrasion (physical)
Gravity abrasion happens when GRAVITY takes rocks and rolls them down the hill
At the bottom of the hill you will see sediments

9. Plant roots (physical)
Plant roots are powerful so they can crack rocks and weather them
In the picture you will see big roots popping out

10. Animal burrowing (physical)
Animals can be part of weathering because ground hogs can burrow in the soil and ruin the soil
In the picture u will see a cave looking thing that is an animals home

11. Weathering (physical) BONUS
Weathering is the breaking down of rock
Rocks can start really big and over time turn into sediments
In the picture it shows the after effect of weathering

12. Erosion (physical) BONUS
Erosion is the movement of rock by wind, water, ice, and gravity
In the picture it shows water gravity erosion

13. HAPPY WEATHERING
