Quiz 1 (Earth Life and Science)

Caused by the effects of changing temperature on rocks, causing the rock to break apart. The process is sometimes assisted by water.

• Chemical Weathering

• Mechanical Weathering

• Biotic Weathering

• Mass Wasting

Include geological phenomena and processes that originate externally to the Earth's surface.

• Exogenic Processes

• Endogenic Processes

The breakdown of rock by oxygen and water, often giving iron-rich rocks a rusty-coloured weathered surface.

• Oxidation

• Carbonation

• Hydrolysis

• Solution

It is influenced by gravity, as the main driving force.

• weathering

• mass wasting

• erosion

• deposition

It is the process of disintegration (physical) and decomposition (chemical) of rocks; breaking down of rocks into smaller particles

• weathering

• mass wasting

• erosion

• deposition

It occurs when rocks are dislodged and made a free fall

• landslide

• debris fall

• rock fall

• flow

It is a chemical process which results in the formation of new substance

This is also known as mechanical weathering.

Masses of rocks or sediment slide.

• Rockslides

• Mudslide

• Landslide

• Erosion

It is one of the  extreme factors inn what makes  the world livable.

• Radiant Energy

• Heat Energy

• Light Energy

• Air Energy
