6
Which of the following best describes chemical weathering?

11
Which of these statements is NOT true about mechanical weathering?
changes the chemical composition of rocks
12
Which of the following activities has resulted in an increased rate of chemical weathering through acidification?

28
In hydration, water is an active agent of chemical weathering. What happens when water loosely combines with the minerals of the rock?
breaks down the molecular binding of the minerals
29
is the action of elements of weather and climate over earth material.
Weathering
30
caused by the effects of changing temperature on rocks, causing the rock to break apart. The process is sometimes assisted by water.
Physical weathering
31
Where does hysical weatheribg occur?
Physical weathering happens especially in places places where there is little soil and few plants grow, such as mountain regions and hot deserts.
32
is the process of breaking down of rocks.
weathering
33
Water, ice, wind, gravity and changing temperature are agents of
physical weathering
34
occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands eventually breaking the rocks apart.
freeze-thaw
35
_ happens when rocks surfaces are frequently exposed with water, wind and gravity.
abrasion
36
Carbonation occurs when _ dissolves to rainwater producing
carbon dioxide, weak acid
37
_ happened when SO, and NO combined with rainwater and produce _ that reacts with rocks.
acidification, acid rain
38
is a process of breaking down of rocks by acidic water to produce clay and soluble salts.
hydrolysis
39
is a type of chemical weathering where water reacts chemically with the rocks, modifying its _
hydration, chemical structure
40
_ animals create holes on the ground and move rock fragments to the surface exposing them to environmental factors of weathering.
burrowing,
41
_ and _ produce acidic substance that slowly disinterested
plants and animals
42
is caused by rainwater reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts
Chemical weathering
43
chemical addition of water
hydration
44
the breakfown of rock by acidic water to produce clay and soluble salts
hydrolysis
