Physical Weathering
• Process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by external conditions.
• Types of Physical weathering– Frost heaving and 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
![Page 11: Weathering, Erosion and Deposition. Weathering The breakdown do the materials of Earth’s crust into smaller pieces](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3f5503460f94b30019/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Water
• Water weathers rock by dissolving it
![Page 12: Weathering, Erosion and Deposition. Weathering The breakdown do the materials of Earth’s crust into smaller pieces](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3f5503460f94b30019/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

react chemically with water forming acids.
• Acid rain causes very rapid chemical weathering

Erosion
• The process by which water, ice, wind or gravity moves fragments of rock and soil.

• Laying down of sediment that has been transported by a medium such as wind, water, or ice – Process of erosion stops:
• when the moving particles fall out of the transporting medium and settle on a surface
– Speed of the medium slows or the resistance of the particles increases, the balance changes and causes deposition
– Speed can be reduced by large rocks, hills, vegetation, etc.
What is What is DepositionDeposition??

Wind speed can be related to variations in Wind speed can be related to variations in heating and cooling.heating and cooling.Transportation of particles in wind:
– Fine particles in suspension hundreds of km from its original source in the desert
– Heavier material may be blown along the ground.– Material is deposited when the wind changes direction or loses its
strength.

• As the speed of the water decreases, the water's ability to carry sediment also decreases.
• Deposited in streams, rivers, and oceans:• Running water deposits sediments where the slowing water can
no longer move them.• Largest particles are deposited near the shore. • Increasingly smaller particles settle out farther from the shore
where the water is calmer.

Delta – a fan shaped deposit that forms at the mouth of a river/stream when it enters a larger body of water like an ocean or lake
![Page 30: Weathering, Erosion and Deposition. Weathering The breakdown do the materials of Earth’s crust into smaller pieces](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e3f5503460f94b30019/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Alluvial Fan - a fan shaped deposit of sediments that forms when a stream/river flows out of a mountain on to flat, dry plains. These are not under water and are very visible. This only happens on the land. You can call it a “land delta”.

• Glacial flows of iceGlacial flows of ice – become slower when the ice begins melting
– Deposits left by glaciers:– The deposits of these rivers look similar to normal river deposits and are
called outwashes.– Moraines are large chunks of broken rock left at the base and sides of
the glacier as it melts and recedes.– Finer material is carried in the rivers that form when the glacial ice
melts.
