7 This is an example of root wedging Roots produce carbonic acid that dissolves minerals in rocks. ( chemical ) Roots grow through cracks in rocks. ( physical)

8 This is an example of of tumbling and abrasion Abrasion happens when rocks rub together. Tumbling happens when rocks roll on the surface hitting other rocks.

9 This is an example of differential weathering. Minerals in the middle of the rock is more prone to weathering.
