Weathering, Soil, Erosion

2. Weathering Mechanical Weathering (Physical)
Pressure Release, Frost Wedging, Abrasion,
Organic activity
Chemical Weathering (removing or exchange of ions from the minerals)
Dissolution, Hydrolysis, Oxidation,

3. Erosion Transport  Deposition

4. Pressure Release

5. Frost Wedging

6. Abrasion

7. Organic Activity

8. Dissolution Occurs when water removes ions from the mineral.
Example : Halite

9. Hydrolysis
Is the exchange of H or OH from an ion in a mineral.

10. Oxidation

11. EXFOLIATION Chemical and Mechanical act together
Exfoliation large plates or shells split away like onion layers

12. Soil
A thin layer of loose fragments , clay, sand overlies bedrock is called REGOLITH.
SOIL is defined as the upper layers of regolith that support plants.
Soil is a mixture of mineral grains, organic material

13. Soil Horizons Leaves, stems, and Flowers in the soil surface
Litter  decomposed  Humus

14. Soil Forming Factors Parent Rock Climate
Rates of plant growth and Decay
Slope Aspect and Steepness
Time
Soil Transport

17. Erosion

18. Landslides
Mass Wasting Download movement of earth material caused by Gravity

20. Angle of Repose

21. Types of Landslide

22. Creep 1cm per year

24. Fall
