Weathering involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, wind and gravity.

• True
• False

The process of slowly breaking rocks into smaller pieces is called

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition

The process of moving weathered rock and depositing it in another location is called?

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition

What are the agents of erosion?

• smoke, fire, water, and carbon dioxide
• moving water, ice, waves, and winds
• sand, dirt, mud, clay
• igneous rock, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock

What are the two types of weathering?

• erosion and deposition
• Acid rain and carbonation
• exfoliation and gravity
• mechanical and chemical

Water entering a small crack or hole will freeze in cold temperatures causing the frozen water to expand.  This makes the hole or crack larger.  This is called?

• Root Pry
• Exfoliation
• Ice Wedging
• Abrasion

What type of mechanical weathering causes landslides?

• Ice Wedging
• Exfoliation
• Gravity
• Abrasion
