1 Weathering Hydrology NOTES PAGE 6 ©Mark Place, 2009-2010

2 Weathering Physical ( Mechanical ) Abrasion Freeze/Thaw

3 Chemical Weathering occurs fastest in this type of environment:
oxidation hydration Chemical Chemical Weathering occurs fastest in this type of environment: warm, moist

4 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
