FAULTING
It is a crack in the earth's crust resulting from the
displacement of one side with respect to the other.

MUDSLIDE
These are caused by disturbances in the natural
stability of a slope. They can accompany heavy rains or
follow droughts, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.
Mudslides usually start on steep slopes and can be
activated by natural disasters.

PHYSICAL
WEATHERING
Physical weathering is caused
by the effects of changing
temperature on rocks, causing
the rock to break apart. An
example of this is the cracking
of rock caused by the freezing
and thawing of water.

BIOLOGICAL
W E AT H E R I N G

Biological weathering occurs

when plants break up rocks
with roots or root exudates. It
increases soil thickness until
optima until biotic activity are
reached, but decreases when
soils get thicker and biotic
activity has less influence on
weathering.
