There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when molten rock materials rise through the earth's crust. Sedimentary rocks form from the deposition of debris and lithification. Metamorphic rocks form from physical and chemical changes due to heat and pressure. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks through contact with the atmosphere, and there are three types: physical/mechanical, chemical, and biological.
Weathering
Weathering breaks down rocks through various processes. There are three main types of weathering: physical, chemical, and biological. Physical weathering breaks rocks through mechanical means like freeze-thaw weathering which uses expanding water to crack rocks or exfoliation from temperature changes. Chemical weathering uses acids to dissolve rocks over time. Biological weathering occurs when plants, lichens, and their roots interact with rocks and produce acids that erode the rocks. Erosion then transports and deposits the eroded pieces of rock, shaping the landscape.
Weathering
Rocks break down into soil through two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical weathering physically breaks rocks into smaller fragments through forces like water, wind, temperature changes, and the action of living things. Chemical weathering alters the composition of rocks through chemical reactions involving water and other agents, transforming their ingredients and eventually forming soil over time.
Weathering of Rocks
Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces through mechanical or chemical means. Mechanical weathering physically breaks rocks down without changing their chemical composition, through processes like freezing and thawing, abrasion, and exfoliation. Chemical weathering changes the minerals in rocks through reactions with oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water to form acids, resulting in processes like oxidation, carbonation, and hydrolysis. Examples of mechanical weathering include abrasion and freezing and thawing, while examples of chemical weathering include oxidation, carbonation, and hydrolysis.

Weathering breaks rocks down into smaller pieces over time through mechanical, chemical, and biological processes. Mechanical weathering is caused by temperature changes that make rocks expand and contract, cracking them. Water freezing in these cracks also breaks rocks apart. Chemical weathering occurs as rainwater reacts with minerals in rocks. Biological weathering results from plant roots and small creatures breaking up rocks to make space in cracks. All of these types of weathering break rocks into smaller pieces that eventually become soil.

The document instructs students on assignments to complete about the conditions that cause the strongest chemical and physical weathering.
Physical and chemical weathering
Weathering is the physical and chemical breakdown of rocks at Earth's surface. Physical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through frost cracking, plant root growth, abrasion by water, ice or wind. Chemical weathering alters the composition of rocks through oxidation, hydrolysis and carbonation. The rate of weathering depends on climate, mineral composition, and surface area. Weathering produces sediments and soils through mechanical and chemical breakdown over time.
Chemical and biological weathering lesson 5
Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical processes involving water and atmospheric gases. The main types of chemical weathering are oxidation, hydration, hydrolysis, carbonation, and solution. These processes weaken rocks through reactions with water and acids. Chemical weathering is common in warm, humid climates and produces dull, pitted rock surfaces.
Types of Weathering
There are three main types of weathering: biological, chemical, and physical. Biological weathering involves living organisms that can cause mechanical or chemical breakdown of rocks through processes like tree roots growing and producing acids. Chemical weathering is caused by rainwater reacting with minerals in rocks to form new minerals and salts. It requires water and occurs more in warm, damp climates. Physical weathering results from temperature changes that cause rocks to expand and contract, eventually breaking them apart without chemical changes. It is more common in mountainous and desert areas.
Weathering & it's types
This document defines and describes the main types of weathering processes that occur at the Earth's surface: mechanical, chemical, and biological. Mechanical weathering involves physical breakdown through processes like frost wedging and abrasion without changing the rock's chemical composition. Chemical weathering decomposes rocks through reactions with substances like carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. Biological weathering disintegrates rocks through organism activities like plant roots, lichen/algae growth, and burrowing. Different rock types and climates result in variable weathering rates.
04 rocks
Rocks form through three main processes: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma either below ground as intrusive rocks or above ground as extrusive rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed at the surface from the weathering and lithification of pre-existing rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the alteration of other rocks through heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids in the Earth's crust and mantle.
Biological weathering
Biological weathering is the breakdown of rocks through the action of living organisms like plants, animals, and microbes. It occurs as roots penetrate rocks to absorb water and nutrients, thereby exerting pressure that cracks rocks apart over time. Microbes and lichen also contribute through chemical reactions, secreting acids or chelating compounds that dissolve rock minerals. While the forces are small, continual effects from a wide variety of organisms gradually cause mechanical and chemical weathering of surface rocks.
Geography presentation on Types of weathering

is the one that explains the processes through which the types of rocks namely – Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic undergo transformation in Geologic times. Rocks of any type can be converted into any other type, or into another rock of the same type. Whenever the state of equilibrium of a particular rock type is disturbed, the rock undergoes a transformation e.g. when an Igneous rock like Basalt or Obsidian is subjected to weathering, it may break up into fragments.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

- 4. • The Earth’s interiors full of wonders. But there are many limitation in collecting information about the mysteries of the earth interior directly. The temperature and pressure inside the earth increases with depth.
- 5. Earth has been divided in to different layers • Crust • Mantle • Outer core • Inner core
- 7. crust • The comparatively thin outer shell of the Earth • As silica and alumina are the chief contents, the oceanic crust is also known as SIAL
- 8. Mantle • Located beneath the crust • Two parts-Upper mantle and Lower mantle
- 9. Core • Central part of the earth • Two parts-outer core, inner core
- 10. FOSSILS The remains of ancient plants and animals found in sedimentary rocks are called fossils.
- 11. ROCKS If you look around you can see different colours and hardness. This diversity is due to its constituents the constituent rocks are called minerals. Based on the mode of formation, rocks can be classified in to three • Igneous rocks • Sedimentary rocks • Metamorphic rocks
- 12. Igneous rocks • Igneous rocks are formed by the molten rock material rising through the fissure in the crust and solidifying either on the surface of the earth or within the crust itself
- 13. SEDIMENTARY ROCK • Rocks under go weathering in course of time. The debris so formed will be deposited in the low regions as layers.
- 14. METAMORPHIC ROCKS • When rocks undergo physical and chemical changes due to high temperature and pressure metamorphic rocks are formed.
- 15. WEATHERING • Disintegration or decomposition of rocks is known as weathering.
- 16. Different types of weathering • Physical/mechanical weathering • Chemical weathering • Biological weathering
- 17. PHYSICAL WEATHERING • The expansion of contraction of minerals due to the variations in temperature results in weathering.
- 18. CHEMICAL WEATHERING • Oxygen, carbon dioxide, water etc. react with the minerals and results in the chemical decomposition of rocks
- 19. BIOLOGICAL WEATHERING • The plant roots penetrating into the fissures in rocks, burrowing of animals, and the decomposition of plant and animal remains lead to weathering.
- 20. Earth’s interior has a layered structure. Each of the earth’s layers has unique features On the basis of the mode of formation, rocks can be classified into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic The process of physical disintegration and chemical rocks on the crust is called weathering
