3. Mechanical Breaking larger rocks into smaller pieces called “sediment” Mechanical Weathering - Geology For Kids - By KidsGeo.comMechanical Weathering - Geology For Kids - By KidsGeo.com Causes: wind, water, living things DOES NOT CHANGE MATTER!

4. Chemical Rocks change into new matter Water is the main factor Water dissolves some chemicals from the air and soil to form a weak acid. Limestone and Marble- easily dissolve

5. Prince Edward Island Red Sands

6. Caves Weak acids formed in rainwater seep into the ground Acids dissolve rock. Holes are formed Over time holes get bigger= CAVE CAVE ANIMATION CAVE DIAGRAM

7. Erosion CAUSE/weathering EFFECT/erosion Carrying away of sediments by moving water, wind, or moving ice EROSION SONG

8. Erosion Main cause- moving water Can increase the size of a river channel

9. Glacial Deposits

10. Sinkholes Sinkhole Animation

11. Landslides Picture of Landslide Causes: strong rain, gravity, earthquakes, volcanoes
