What type of weathering is shown in the picture? a) Mechanical; b) Biological; c) Chemical; d) Magical

b) Biological (plant roots can enter a small crack in a rock. As the root grows larger the crack gets larger. This weakens the structure of the rock).

What happened to this rock?

This boulder was split by gelifraction (water freezes and expands, working to wedge the rock open). This is a type of mechanical or physical weathering.

What caused these shapes?

Limestone was weathered by rainwater containing dissolved CO2 (this process is sometimes called carbonation and is a type of chemical weathering).

What is eroding this land? a) Wind; b) Rain; c) Glaciers; d) Rivers.

b) Rain (Rain-splash erosion: rain splashing down on the land and dislodging weathered material such as pebbles or soil).

What type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation of the Great Rift Valley?

Divergent (a horizontal extensional force stretches the lithosphere, and it becomes thinner. Eventually, it will rupture).

What type of weathering is shown in the picture? a) Mechanical; b) Biological; c) Chemical; d) Magical

a) Mechanical (water soaks into small fissures and cracks, expands when it freezes in the winter, and physically breaks the rock apart)

Chemical weathering is most likely to take place in environments that are: a) cold; b) wet; c) dry.

b) wet (These chemical processes need water, and occur more rapidly at higher temperature, so warm, damp climates are best.))

Water has the power to split rocks because when it freezes, it: a) contracts; b) evaporates; c) expands

c) expands
