EQ: HOW IS THE EARTH AFFECTED BY CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE FORCES?
What is weathering?
Weathering is the breakdown, either physical or chemical, of rocks on the earth's surface.
There are many types of weathering: wind, water, plants, ice, etc.
When these elements come in contact with rocks, they will wear away small pieces.
Often, weathering occurs slowly--like with wind. Other times weathering occurs quickly--like with a
rock slide.
Three Types of Weathering
Physical Weathering
The breakdown of materials by physical means
Examples: water, temperature, wind
Chemical Weathering
The breakdown of materials by chemical means
Examples: acid rain, oxygen
Biological Weathering
? The breakdown of materials by living organisms
? Examples: animals, plants
Physical Weathering Temperature!
Chemical Weathering
Oxygen!
Dissolution!
Biological Weathering
Human Activity
Mankind plays a large role in affecting constructive and destructive processes.
Sometimes, we help to stop destructive and constructive forces, and sometimes we accidentally speed them up.
One example of how mankind helped stop weathering in Georgia is a place known as Tallulah Gorge.
