weathering

?
weathering
the brakedown in situe of rock materials, under the infulence of low pressure, low temperature and the pressence of ain and water.
1 of 7
erosion
the removle of weathered products by agents such as gravety, water , wind and ice
2 of 7
machanical weathering
the dissintigration of bedrock into smaller, angular, but chemicaly identical fragments.
3 of 7
types of machanical weathering you need to know
1. freeze thaw 2. exfoliation
4 of 7
chemical weathering
the dissintigration of bedrock. only quartz is unreactive and not affected. this then will lead to the formation of clay minereales
5 of 7

1. hydrolysis 2. carbonation 3. solution 4. oxidation and reduction
6 of 7
factors that controle weathering
1. rock types 2. rock structure 3. temperature 4. rainfall 5. relief 6 infulance of man 7. time
