- 1. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is NOT a type of chemical weathering?watercarbon dioxideice wedgingliving organisms secreting acid to break down rocks
- 2. Multiple ChoiceWhat is weathering?The process by which
water, ice, wind or gravity
moves fragments of rock
and soil.The process by which
water, ice, wind or gravity
deposit rock sediments
and soil in a new place.The breaking down of
Earth’s crust into smaller
and smaller pieces. - 3. Multiple ChoiceWhat is erosion?The process by which

moves fragments of rock
and soil.The process by which
water, ice, wind or gravity
deposit rock sediments
and soil in a new place.The breaking down of
Earth’s crust into smaller
and smaller pieces. - 4. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is NOT a type of physical weathering?burrowing plantsice wedgingplant rootsacid rain
- 5. Multiple ChoiceA marble statue is left exposed to the weather. Within a few years, the details on the statue have begun to weather away. This weathering probably is caused by...oxygen in the aircarbonic acid in rainwaterlichensabrasion
- 6. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is an example of mechanical weathering?Acidic groundwater dissolving limestonefrost wedgingPaper being burned
- 7. Multiple Choice
The diagrams shows a natural process that weathers rock.
Which statement best explains why this process results in weathering?frozen water acts as a solutewater expands when it freezesthe mass of water increases when it freezesfrozen water dissolves most types of rock - 8. Multiple ChoiceWhat is mechanical weathering?Process through which rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces.Rocks are broken down through chemical changes.Rocks are worn away from acid in plant roots.Rocks broken down by machinery.
- 9. Multiple ChoiceWhich type of climate will have faster chemical weathering?Hot and WetCold and DryHot and ColdCold and Wet
- 10. Multiple ChoiceHow do plants weather rocks?during photosynthesiswhen roots grow into cracks of rocks and expand the rockwhen the plant moves water from the roots to the leaves
- 11. Multiple Choice
These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freeze/thaw of water in the cracks of the rocks. This is an example of:
cryofracturing
acid rain
permeability
abrasion
