Mechanical Weathering
Process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by external conditions.
Types of Physical weathering Frost wedging Plant roots Friction and impact Burrowing of animals Temperature changes

Chemical Weathering
The process that breaks down rock through chemical changes.
The agents of chemical weathering Water Oxygen Carbon dioxide Living organisms Acid rain

Water
Water weathers rock by dissolving it
![Page 12: Soil & Weathering. The breakdown of materials of Earth’s crust into smaller pieces. Weathering](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032016/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Oxygen Iron combines with
oxygen in the presence of water in a processes called oxidation
The product of oxidation is rust

Carbon Dioxide
CO2 dissolves in rain water and creates carbonic acid
Carbonic acid easily weathers limestone and marble

Living Organisms
Lichens that grow on rocks produce weak acids that chemically weather rock

Acid Rain Compounds from burning coal, oil and gas
react chemically with water forming acids. Acid rain causes very rapid chemical
weathering Acid rain has the same ph level as tomato
juice

Soil
What is soil? Loose mixture of
weathered rock, organic matter, water, and air
Is chemically and physically different from parent material

Soil Horizon
Soils have distinct zones that roughly parallel land surface
![Page 18: Soil & Weathering. The breakdown of materials of Earth’s crust into smaller pieces. Weathering](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032016/56649e3f5503460f94b2ffc9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Horizon Layers Typical soil profile
O horizon -- dark organic matter
A horizon -- contains some organic matter but many minerals are removed from this layer; Lighter-colored than O
B horizon -- contains decomposed rock such as clay, iron oxides, calcite; may be red, yellow, or tan
C horizon -- slightly altered parent material
