Weathering and erosion
Weathering and erosion break down Earth's crust into smaller pieces through physical and chemical processes. Physical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through external forces like frost wedging, friction, and animal burrowing. Chemical weathering uses chemical processes like water dissolving rock, oxygen combining with iron to form rust, and carbon dioxide forming carbonic acid to break down rock materials. Biological weathering also contributes through actions of plant roots and animal burrowing.
Rocks and weathering
This document defines and describes the three main types of weathering: physical, chemical, and biological. Physical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through temperature changes and water, such as exfoliation weathering caused by hot temperatures and freeze-thaw weathering caused by melting and freezing water. Chemical weathering occurs as acid in rainwater reacts with minerals in rocks, either slowly over time from carbonic acid or more rapidly from acid rain. Biological weathering results from plants and animals breaking rocks into fragments.

Types of weathering
There are two main types of weathering: mechanical/physical weathering and chemical weathering. Mechanical/physical weathering includes exfoliation, ice wedging, organic wedging, and abrasion which break rocks into smaller pieces through forces like heat, freezing water, plant and animal activity, and rocks rubbing together. Chemical weathering involves processes like hydrolysis, oxidation, dissolution, and reactions with acids that cause rocks to decompose and break down on an atomic scale when in contact with water and acids from sources like carbon dioxide, pollution, and decaying plants.
Presentation
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller particles that forms soil through physical, chemical, and biological processes. Physical weathering occurs due to temperature changes that cause rocks to crack and break apart, sometimes with the assistance of water. Chemical weathering involves chemicals in rain and water reacting with rocks and minerals to change or weaken them. Biological weathering is the weakening of rocks through interactions with plants, animals, and microbes. Common types of chemical weathering include acidification, oxidization, carbonation, and hydrolysis.
Presentation of chemical weathering
Chemical weathering is caused by reactions between rainwater and rock minerals that form new minerals and soluble salts. These chemical processes include oxidation, hydrolysis, and solution (carbonation). They occur most rapidly in warm, damp climates and are the first stage in soil production. The most important types are oxidation, hydrolysis, solution, and carbonation. Oxidation involves reactions with oxygen that alter mineral composition. Hydrolysis produces clay and salts through reactions with acid rain. Solution dissolves minerals like limestone in acidic rainwater. Carbonation is the reaction of carbonic acid, formed when carbon dioxide and water combine, dissolving minerals like limestone.

Weathering erosion pictures
Weathering is the process of decomposing, breaking up, or changing rocks without moving them from their original location. Erosion is the process of moving weathered rock and soil particles from their original location by forces like wind, water, or ice. Weathering can occur through chemical processes that alter the minerals in rocks or through mechanical processes that break rocks into smaller pieces without changing the minerals. Once weathered, smaller rock pieces can be eroded and transported elsewhere by natural forces.

slides about weathering in various region.ppt
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks through physical and chemical processes near Earth's surface. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical weathering involves physical breakdown while chemical weathering involves chemical decomposition through reactions with water, acids, and organisms. Weathering produces sediment and soils and exposes important mineral resources. Factors like climate, surface area, and rock type control the rate of chemical weathering. Soil forms as weathered material accumulates and is composed of minerals, organic matter, air, water and organisms. Different climates produce different soil types with varying fertility. Soil degradation can damage ecosystems and human civilizations.

Weathering and erosion by ahmed bin khalil
This document discusses weathering and erosion. It defines weathering as the breakdown and decomposition of rocks near the Earth's surface. Weathering occurs through various processes including expansion/contraction from temperature changes, freezing and thawing of water in cracks, and chemical breakdown. Erosion is defined as the removal and transport of weathered materials. The key influences on weathering are temperature, rainfall, and biological factors like plant and animal activity. Weathering and erosion can have both positive impacts through soil formation and raw materials, and negative impacts like flood damage.
Earth-science-group-2.pptx
This document discusses various exogenic and endogenic geological processes that shape the Earth's surface and interior. It describes weathering processes like physical weathering caused by temperature fluctuations, plants, and abrasion that break down rock. It also discusses chemical weathering processes like hydrolysis, carbonation, and oxidation. Erosion by water and wind then transport weathered material. These surface processes interact with sub-surface processes like plate tectonics and magmatism to continually reshape the Earth's surface through folding, faulting, earthquakes, and volcanism over millions of years. Together exogenic and endogenic processes create diverse landforms and landscapes.

Miscellaneous history-of-atom(2)
The ancient Greek scientist Democritus first coined the term "atom". In 1803, John Dalton proposed that all matter is made of atoms, which he believed were small, indestructible particles. Later discoveries found that atoms are made of even smaller subatomic particles like electrons. In 1904, J.J. Thomson developed the plum pudding model of the atom as a sphere with electrons embedded in its surface. In 1911, Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms are mostly empty space with a dense nucleus at the center, containing protons surrounded by electrons in motion.
