    Rocks and Weathering Review


    Erosion works continuously to weather and carry away rocks at Earths surface.
    The natural agents of mechanical weathering include freezing and thawing, release of pressure,
    plant growth, actions of animals, and abrasion. The agents of chemical weathering include water,
    oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organisms and acid rain.
    The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock
    and the climate.
    Mass Movement Review
    Weathering, erosion and deposition act together in a cycle that wears down and builds up the
    earths surface.
    The different types of mass movement include landslides, mudflows, slumps and creeps
    Water Erosion Review
    Moving water is the major agent of erosion that has shaped the earths land surface. Ground water
    erodes through chemical weathering.
    Through erosion, a river forms valleys, waterfalls, floodplains, meanders, and oxbow lakes.
    Deposition forms alluvial fans and deltas.
    Assessment Practice

    1.) The process that splits rock through freezing and thawing is called:
    a.) abrasion
    b.) dissolving
    c.) erosion
    d.) frost wedging
    2.) Classify each of the following as mechanical or chemical weathering:
    Cracks in a sidewalk next to a tree

    Limestone with holes like swiss cheese

    A rock that slowly turns reddish brown

    3.) Predict. If mechanical weathering breaks a rock into pieces, how would this affect the rate at which
    rock weathers chemically?

    4.) Write about it. A community group wants to build a monument in a city park. They want the
    monument to last for a long time. They ask you for advice on choosing long-lasting stone for the
    monument. Write a proposal explaining what factors would affect how long the monument would last.

    5.) What is the process by which weathered rock, sediment, and soil are moved from place to place?
    e.) abrasion
    f.) dissolving
    g.) erosion
    h.) frost wedging

    6.) Freezing and thawing of water can cause creep, which is a.

    7.) Compare and Contrast. How are landslides and mudflows similar? How are they different?

    8.) Sequence. Identify the steps in the erosion cycle. Explain why it has no beginning or end.

    9.) Which feature typically contains water only during a rainstorm and right after it rains?
    a.) a river
    b.) a rill
    c.) a gully
    d.) a stream
    10.) Sediments are deposited in an alluvial fan because...

    11.) Make judgements. Your family looks at a new house right next to a river bank. Why might they
    hesitate to buy this house?

    12.) Sequence. Complete the following paragraph by writing a few sentences about which happens first,
    second, third, etc, in steam formation by using the words below.They are not in order!

    Gullies
    Fullies
    Rills
    Stream
    First raindrops strike the ground. Then, runoff forms...

    13.) Write about it. Explain to visitors to your valley how the lake called Oxbow lake formed. Use words
    and a drawing. (Use the Google Drawing inserted below and just insert a text box for your writing)
