WEATHERING
1. Form different kinds of clay minerals.

Hydrolysis
Abrasion
Thermal Expansion
 The breakdown of rocks is caused by
2. impact and friction.

Hydrolysis
Abrasion
Thermal Expansion
 It is a least effective of all the weathering
3. processes.

Hydrolysis
Abrasion
Thermal Expansion
4. It is a release of pressure.

Unloading
Dissolution
Pressure*
 A process where a solid dissolve into a
5. solvent such as water forming a solution.

Dissolution
Pressure*
 What process of chemical weathering is
involved when water reacts with one mineral to
6. form a new mineral like feldspar into clay?

Unloading
Dissolution
Pressure*
 What factor causes the breakdown of rocks by
7. friction and impact?

Hydrolysis
Frost Wedging
Physical Weathering
 Rocks have fracture in its surface and when
water accumulates in the crack and at that
point freezes, the ice expands and breaks the
8. rock apart.

Hydrolysis
Frost Wedging
Physical Weathering
 It is akin to physical change that breaks rocks
9. down into bits due to physical force.

Hydrolysis
Frost Wedging
Physical Weathering
 This is akin to chemical change wherein new
material/s with new properties develop/s from the
rock and its minerals when acted upon by agents of
10. chemical weathering.

Chemical Weathering
Carbonation
Oxidation
 It occurs when carbon dioxide dissolves in
water forming carbonic acid that can cause
11. rocks to dissolve.

Chemical Weathering
Carbonation
Oxidation
 It takes place when components of the
minerals combine with free oxygen in the
12. atmosphere causing the formation of oxides.

Chemical Weathering
Carbonation
Oxidation
 A type of weathering that results from plant,
13. animal and even microbial influences.

Biological Weathering
Chemical Weathering
Physical Weathering
 What type of weathering occurs when
stalactites and stalagmites on caves are
14. formed?

Biological Weathering
Chemical Weathering
Physical Weathering
 Which of the following types of weathering
is exhibited when the rocks are fractured,
15. cracked, and broken down into small pieces?

Biological Weathering
Chemical Weathering
Physical Weathering
 What type of weathering
being specified in the picture?
