Erosion and Weathering:)
: O
Weathering and Eroision is the process that shifts the earth! when weathering takes place is can make hard stone have wind lines in it! and also, erosion can be as simple as a pot hole or crack in the road to as complicated as the grand cannion!
Weathering is like Wind, Rain, and any other weather you can think of. Erosion is like earthquakes, shifting plates, (That creates Tsunamis)
There is a constent conflict between forces that cut down the surface and ones that raise the surface. The two kinds of weathering are pysical weathering (mechanical change), and Abrasions, Ice Wedgeing, and Exfoliation.
~Abrations~
Wearing down of smoothing of a material due to constant collitions like beach glass.
~Ice Wedgeing~
Break up due to repeated freezeing and thawing, the bigger the crack the more water gets in which creates the snow ball effect.
~Exfoliation~
Peeling away the surface layers, caused by changes in temp and pressure or vegitation (trees, grass.
Roots wedge into pores and cracks splitting the rock.
Ps.
Is this enough info Mr.Gonzalez!!
