Weathering
Weathering: The breaking down of material at or near the Earth’s surface
![Page 5: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Physical Weathering
A. Physical (Mechanical) Weathering: Changes in the size and/or shape of a rock without changing the rock’s composition
![Page 6: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. Frost Wedging: Water in the cracks of rocks freezes
-> volume of the water increases->makes cracks larger->water melts & evaporates
->more rock is exposed-> rock begins to break apart
![Page 7: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Physical Weathering2. Plant Action: Tiny root hairs
seek out the breaks in rocks ->roots grow and expand causing greater pressure -> breaks the rock further
![Page 8: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3. Exfoliation: Peeling away of large sheets of loosened materials at the surface of a rock due to changes in pressure or temperature
![Page 9: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Abrasion4. Abrasion: The physical wearing
down of rocks as they rub or bounce against each other.Five Natural Agents of Abrasion

Chemical Weathering
B. Chemical Weathering- Changes in the mineral composition of a rock thereby forming new substances.
1. Oxidation: Occurs when oxygen interacts chemically with minerals. The rusting of iron is an example of oxidation.

Hydrolysis/Water: Occurs when there are chemical reactions between water and minerals
![Page 15: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A Famous Example
![Page 16: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Dissolution/Acid3. Dissolution/Acid: Occurs when
minerals are “dissolved” over time- surface has a ‘sugary’ feel when touched. Acid rain and carbonic acid are examples of agents of dissolution.

In Your Own Words (10 mins) On the same paper as physical
weathering, but in a separate area, write the definition of chemical weathering in your own words
Draw 3 boxes In each box, define each type of chemical
weathering in your own words, or draw an illustration of what happens during each type of weathering

Rates of Weathering
Rates of weathering will be influenced by…
1. Exposed surface area- weathering occurs on the surface. The more surface exposed, the faster weathering will occur.
![Page 26: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Rates of Weathering
2. Mineral composition- some minerals are more resistant than others. For example, quartz is resistant to chemical and physical weathering.
![Page 27: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The more resistant a mineral is to weathering, the more time it takes to wear down the material.

Granite vs. Limestone
![Page 29: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Rates of Weathering
Climatic conditions- Cold and/or dry climates favor physical weathering.
Warm and wet climates favor chemical weathering.
![Page 30: W-E-D Cycle ESRT PAGE 6 The water cycle aides in the Weathering-Erosion- Deposition Cycle](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a76189/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Frost wedging works best in areas where the temperature changes often- going from below freezing to above freezing regularly
