  rock.

13
The difference between mechanical and chemical
weathering is (b.) the way each affects the
composition of the rock.
14
Which of the following does not cause mechanical
weathering?

• a. Water
• b. Carbonic Acid
• c. Tree roots

15
(b.) Carbonic Acid would be a cause of chemical
weatheringNOT mechanical weathering.
16
Mechanical weathering

• a. breaks apart rocks without changing their
• chemical composition.
• b. occurs when water, air and other substances
  react with the minerals in rock.
• c. involves a change in the rocks composition.
• d. None of the above.

17
Mechanical weathering (a.)breaks apart rocks
without changing their chemical composition.
18
The process of erosion and deposition can be
explained as

• a. weathering and dropping of materials.
• b. breaking and movement of rock.
• c. movement and dropping of rock fragments.
• d. wearing away, movement and dropping of
  materials.

19

explained as(d.)wearing away, movement and
dropping of materials.
20
This occurs when water, air, naturally formed
acids and other substances react with the
minerals in rocks.
21
Chemical weathering occurs when water, air,
naturally formed acids and other substances react
with the minerals in rocks.

break, producing vibrations called

• a. Earthquakes
• b. Stress fractures

33
When the force of rocks is great enough, they
break, producing vibrations called(a.)
earthquakes.

release of an earthquake occurs is known as the

• a. Fault
• b. Hot spot
• c. Focus

35
The point in the Earths interior where the
energy release of an earthquake occurs is known
