1 The Slow Process of Weathering Landforms

2 Weathering The breaking up of rocks by water, ice, acid rain, plant roots, and burrowing animals. Weathering can be a very SLOW process!

3 Water Weathering Water can dissolve the minerals in landforms.

4 WATER WEATHERING: Moving water can also wear down rocks:

5 Ice Weathering If water freezes into cracks in a rock, it will expand as it freezes, opening the cracks even more.

6 Acid Rain

7 Weathering by Acid Rain
the effects of acid rain on rocks.

8 Weathering by Plant Roots

9 Weathering Caused by Burrowing of Animals
