1. THE EARTH WILL NOT BE HAPPY UNTIL IT IS FLAT
Weathering

2. Weathering- wearing down rocks on the earth's surface, there are 2 types:

3. Disintegration- (physical weathering) process that breaks large pieces of rock into smaller fragments
freeze/thaw
flowing water

4. Decomposition- (chemical weathering) process that forms new substances from minerals in the rock
carbonic acid
and limestone

5. Rate of Weathering depends on the composition of the rock, the climate, and the texture (surface area) of the rock.
