2 Weathering is… The breaking apart and changing of rocks

3 Weathering can be caused by … 1.Water 2.Changing temperatures 3.Living things

4 An example of weathering that we often see right in our town is… POTHOLES!!

5 Water can break apart rocks because…. 1. Water gets into the cracks of the rocks 2. Water freezes and expands, or grows larger 3. It pushes (puts pressure) on the sides of the cracks 4. The rocks may break apart

6 The part of a plant that can break the rocks is the… PLANT ROOT

7 EROSION IS…. The carrying away of weathered rocks or soil by water, wind or other causes.

8 On Long Island we see a great deal of erosion from water at our beaches Fire Island, NY after Hurricane Sandy
