18. These are actions or things that break down
Earth materials
1. Frost wedging
2. Thermal expansion and contraction
3. Mechanical exfoliation
4. Plant growth
19. 1. Frost Wedging
cracking of rock mass by the
expansion of water as it freezes in
crevasses and cracks
Expansion and contraction of rocks
eventually breaking them apart.
22. 2. Thermal expansion and contraction
(Temperature)
–repeated heating and cooling of
materials cause rigid
substances to crack and
separate.
23. 3. Mechanical Exfoliation
–Due to unloading, the sudden release
from pressure causes the formation of
fractures on rocks.
–Outer rocks generate onion-like layers
called sheet.
25. 4. Plant Growth
• As plants such as trees send out root
systems, the fine roots find their way
into cracks in the rocks. As the roots
increase in size, they force the rock
sections apart, increasing the
separation and weathering.
28. • Is the process by which rocks
break down by chemical
reactions.
• Oxidation and hydrolysis and
carbonation are chemical
processes that contributed these
29.
30. 1. Oxidation – Oxygen combines with
minerals to form oxides.
(iron + oxygen = Rust)
Oxidation weakens the bedrock making it
softer.
32. 2. HYDROLYSIS
• minerals absorb water and
chemically change the
composition of the material
• these are generally not as
hard as the original material.
34. Eg. granite contains mica.
Mica has a weak chemical composition and
absorb water.
Turns into clay
35. CARBONATION-When pollutants like Carbon
Dioxide, Nitrogen & Sulfuric Oxides mix
with rain water creating acid rain, which can
dissolve limestone and harm the living
environment.
36. “I Know it is…”
I know it is physical weathering because

I know it is chemical weathering because

I know it is weathering because .
37. Treasure Rock Activity
1. Go out of the classroom and look for rocks that
undergo weathering.
2. Identify the factors which contributed to the
weathering of the rock. Each member of the group
should have 1 specific type of rock to look for
during the activity.
Note: the students should take a photo of the
identified rock which will be presented inside the
classroom.
38. Treasure Rock Activity
3. Do the activity as fast as you can.
4. The group who finished the tasks in a short period
of
time will be given corresponding points.
Note: Only complete members who can gain points.
39. Answer the following questions: ( 5 points
each)
1.Physical weathering is an entirely different
process compared to chemical weathering.
How can these two processes work together
to speed up the weathering process?
2.Differentiate a desert and a rainforest in terms
of rate of chemical weathering.

41. -Design a model that would
stimulate rapid and slow erosion.
-Bring the needed materials for
your model next meeting.
ASSIGNMENT: (By group)
42.
43.
44. A. I can differentiate erosion from
mass wasting;
B. I can classify mass wasting
according to its rate of
movement;
45. C. I can design a model that would
stimulate rapid and slow erosion;
and
D. I can internalize the factors in
preventing erosion.
46. Mass Wasting
• This refers to the movement of
large masses of materials
down slope or a steep-sided
hill or mountain due to the pull
of gravity.
59. • It is the process by which
earth’s surface is worn away
by wind, water, or ice.
• Moves rock debris or soil from
one place to another
60. • Erosion by
different agents:
winds carry smaller
particles through
saltation and
bigger particles by
61. “I Know it is…”
• I know it is fall because .
• I know it is slide plowing because
.
• I know it is avalanche because
.
62. Erosion model
• With the same group, the student will
design a model that would stimulate rapid
(all soil washed away in 20 seconds) and
slow erosion (soil is transported in 1 min).
• 20 minutes is given to finish the task.
• 3-5 minutes to present
