What are the two different types of weathering?

Chemical and Physical

Name one example of erosion

gravity, ice, wind, water

Name one example of weathering

ice wedging, dissolution, oxidation, abrasion

What is the Chemical Weathering process by which other chemicals combine with oxygen?

Oxidation

Streams deposit their loads in a fan-shaped pattern. This is a called a

Delta

By which method does heat travel from the sun to Earth?

Radiation

Which process of heat transfer makes water boil?

Convection

Which two of Earth's spheres interact when acid rain damages plant cells?

Hydrosphere and biosphere

What is the name of the part that consists of all the water on Earth's surface?

Hydrosphere

What is the name of the frozen water part of Earth?

Cryosphere

What is the name of the solid part of Earth, including rock, minerals, and metals?

Geosphere

What is a plateau?

A raised, flat-surfaced area bound on one or more sides by cliffs or steep slopes

Which landform represents an area of land that rises very high above the land around it?

mountian

True or false: Repeated freezing and thawing of water breaks rocks apart.

True.

What happens if trees are not planted in a location?

Soil can wash away.

How does gravity cause erosion?

By pulling weathered materials downhill.

The rapid downhill movement of a large amount of soil and rocks is called

landslide

An area of sediment that builds up at the mouth of a river is called

delta

The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces is called

weathering

The process of water in and around rocks and soil freezing and expanding, breaking up the rocks is called

frost wedging

The moving of bits of weathered material from one place to another is called

erosion

It occurs when water or wind gradually wears away rock by friction

Abrasion

The dropping of sediment in a new place is called

deposition

Smalls bits of weathered rock and other material are called

sediment
