What is weathering?
The transportation of sediments
The breaking down and changing of rocks
The dropping off of sediments
The erosion caused by wind
Answer explanation
Weathering refers to the process of breaking down and changing of rocks. This process can occur due to various natural forces like water, wind, and temperature changes. The other options, such as the transportation of sediments, the dropping off of sediments, and the erosion caused by wind, are related to weathering but do not define what it is.

What is erosion?
The transportation of sediments
The breaking down and changing of rocks
The dropping off of sediments
The erosion caused by wind
Answer explanation
Erosion, as the question implies, is primarily about the movement or transportation of sediments. While it's true that erosion can involve the breakdown of rocks and the deposition of sediments, the core concept refers to the process whereby soil, rock, and other particles are worn away and moved to another location, typically by wind, water, or ice. Therefore, the correct answer is 'The transportation of sediments'.

Root wedging
Answer explanation
The question asks about the type of weathering that involves the physical breakdown of rocks without changing their composition. Frost action meets these criteria. It's a type of physical or mechanical weathering where water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezes and expands, causing the rock to break apart without altering its mineral composition.

What is the process called when water dissolves limestone and creates caves?
Frost action
Exfoliation
Oxidation
Carbonation
Answer explanation
The process of Carbonation refers to reactions of carbon dioxide with water, forming carbonic acid which then reacts with limestone, dissolving it and leading to cave formations. The other options - Frost action, Exfoliation, and Oxidation do not involve this process and hence, are not responsible for cave creation through limestone dissolution.
