2. The Different Types of Weathering
Physical and Chemical breakdown of rock
Physical
- Root Pry
-Exfoliation
-Frost Action
-Wind Abrasion
Chemical
- Oxidation
- Acid Rain

3. Why is this rock red?
OXIDATION

4. What will happen to the rock the tree is growing in.
Root Pry
What will happen to the rock the tree is growing in.
The rock breaks apart

5. Peeling away of rock. This makes the half dome.
Exfoliation
Peeling away of rock. This makes the half dome.

6. Frost Action or ice wedging slowly breaks up this sedimentary rock into unusual shapes.

7. What could have caused these rocks to become rounded.
WIND ABRASION

8. What could have eaten away this statue?to
What could have eaten away this statue?
Acid Rain

9. Process of wearing away the earth’s surface.
Erosion
Process of wearing away the earth’s surface.
Types of erosion:
Wave Action
Running Water
Landslides
Creep
Rock Fall
Mud Flow
Avalanche
Glaciers
Slump

10. Wave action - when waves hit the rocks and pieces of rock break off.

11. Running water eroded the sides of this canyon and created the V-shaped valleys.

12. Mass Wasting - landslides

13. A slump is when a clump of earth breaks apart and falls

14. Land slowly slipping over many years from temperature or water.
Creep.
Land slowly slipping over many years from temperature or water.

15. This avalanche is an example of
Mass Wasting

16. This glacier carves out a U-shaped valley by dragging rocks and boulders with it

17. Deposition
When erosion stops and particles that were moving are settled in a new location.
