Weathering
• Weathering • The process that
breaks down rock and other substances on Earth’s Surface.
Two Types of Weathering
• Mechanical Weathering
• Examples:
• A type of weathering in which rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces. A physical change includes change in size and shape.
• Freezing and thawing, animal actions, abrasion.

• Chemical Weathering
• Chemical change caused by a chemical reaction. One substance changes into another.
• Example:• Iron + Water +
oxygen = Rust

Oxygen• Water + Oxygen
+Iron = RUST
• When water and oxygen mix with Iron it creates rust. This is called oxidation.
• Rust video
Carbon Dioxide• Carbon dioxide
dissolves in rain water and produces Carbonic acid.
• This Carbonic acid easily weathers marble and Limestone.

Acid Rain
Acid rain video clip• Pictures of weathering
• When pollution from the air contaminates the rain, it causes rapid chemical weathering.
• Erosion • The movement of rock and particles by wind, water, ice or gravity.
• What_Is_Erosion video clip
• Erosion video clip
• Difference between weathering and erosion
• Weathering breaks earth down and erosion moves the broken pieces around.
1 min video segment on weathering and erosion
• Sediment
• Deposition
• Gravity
• Is the material moved by erosion .
• Occurs where the agents of erosion lay down the sediment. (drop it off)
• The force that moves rock and other sediment downhill. Gravity causes mass movement of sediment.
• Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition act together in a cycle that wears down and builds up Earth’s surface.
