• Erosion

• Weathering

• Dissolution

• Fracture

Which is an example of chemical weathering?

• A rock breaking into fragments.

• Sediment being moved down a hillside.

• A rock being scratched by rocks embedded in the bottom of a

  glacier.

• A rock being dissolved by acidic water.

When a glacier moves, it picks up loose material and transports it to other places. This is -

• Erosion by wind

• Erosion by water

• Erosion by ice

• All of the above

Erosion is usually followed by-

• deposition

• weathering

• suspension

• saltation

When a rock expands causing it to break into flat sheets it is called...

• Dissolution

• Oxidation

• Frost Wedging

• Exfoliation

When water moves through a river it sometimes drops sediment to the bottom of the stream.
