This picture of the concrete in front of my garage is an example    of weathering. Over the years the concrete has broken apart and into much smaller pieces. The reasons for this are that water from the roof has fallen on to the concrete so much causing it to break. Also the water gets trapped in the cracks and freezes then expands causing the cracks to break even more. After learning about weathering and erosion now I relies why the 
concrete is so beat up.

The picture of the fence is weathering. The fence changed color in some spots because of all the water from the trees and pool.  In the photo of the small hill, there are roots that are there because of erosion. It's there because of all the rain that hits it. Rain pounds on the dirt and causes the dirt to start breaking apart. Water also freezes  in cracks that are there, making chunks of it break off of the hill.

I walked outside to see a branch that fell off of a tree this is weathering. It is weathering because the branch was on the tree for many years but there was many snow and rain storms which caused it to become weak and soon fall of onto the ground. ]]> 2020-03-23 15:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471138908 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471310255 2020-03-23 16:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471310255 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471336987 Weathering 

This picture down below that I took is of my driveway concrete is an example of weathering because over all of the years pieces of the concrete have chipped off. It has also broken up into smaller pieces over time. The reasons why this happened is because when it rains all of the water from it causes it to break into smaller pieces.  Another reason why is because after the rain goes away it gets stuck inside of the cracks and then it freezes up and makes the concrete spread apart even more. Thoses are some of the reasons why the concrete splits up into smaller pieces]]> 2020-03-23 16:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471336987 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471498066 Weathering 

This picture of my driveway is one example of weathering because over the span of a few years of us driving over it and weather hitting it the pieces of concrete started to break apart and leave gaps and holes. For example when it rains the water goes in the cracks and freezes over time and and makes the concrete spread apart even further.]]> 2020-03-23 18:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471498066 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471580000 I found this crack on my driveway and it was caused by weathering. The reason why it is there is because of animals, water, ice and the temperature drop. Water fills the crack, freezes and expands. Ice melts and breaks up the rock into tiny pieces. Animals dig under the driveway causing the driveway to crack. Heat causes rock to expand and cold causes rock to contrast. That process makes cracks in my driveway. Those are all of my reasons why there is a crack in my driveway. ]]> 2020-03-23 19:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471580000 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471595087 I think this picture of my rock wall is a good example of weathering because all of the rain, snow, and sleet has made this rock look pushed in because it use to be completely round.      ]]> 2020-03-23 19:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471595087 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471621831 2020-03-23 19:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/471621831 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472576532 I have noticed that over time that the big boulders at my cousin´s waterfront are starting to break apart from weathering. Overtime the past years, all the water is getting into the cracks of the boulders and then freezing. When it gets warmer out, the ice melts and the rock breaks apart over time.  ]]> 2020-03-24 12:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472576532 beauchesnelily https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472807609 I have noticed that over time heavy cars and trucks have cracked the pavement on the street just off of my house. now sense the people who do the roads have no mind to fix ours there is a sign that says no trucks over the weight of 20,000 lbs can drive on the road.   ]]> 2020-03-24 14:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472807609 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472881894 I Have noticed over time the big pine tree in my back yard has  ]]> 2020-03-24 14:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472881894 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472885323 I have noticed a hole in our garage and it is because of weathering. This hole is there because over time water, sand,  and ice get pushed by the wind against it and chips little pieces off everyday, and animals can cause the hole because they can   scratch little pieces off. Also the temperature can take part because the heat causes it to expand the cold causes it to contrast and that process can dig deeper into the concrete and make a hole.  Those are some reasons the hole might be in my garage.]]> 2020-03-24 14:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/472885323 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/474545219 I have noticed that over time there has been a crack in my road that has started to get bigger. This crack has gotten bigger over time because of the heat has moved the tar apart into a crack. Also, the ice contributed by when it is winter the water would get into the crack and then freeze which takes up more space so the road would start to push apart, which made the crack get bigger and bigger. ]]> 2020-03-25 13:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/474545219 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/475179294  I have noticed erosion in my driveway. In my driveway there are so many cracks. Water, ice, tempature all caused this to happen. The video inspired me to check on this crack every year noting the changes I see. My first note I will put for 2020 is that there are plants growing out of the crack and it looks like a ski mountain. I will also note that it looks like water and tempature made this happen. As years pass I infure the crack will get bigger and bigger. That is the erosion I have noticed at my house.]]> 2020-03-25 18:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/475179294 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/475209861 I have noticed weathering in these trees. They are twisted in unusual shapes and have hole like shapes by the bottoms. Both of the trees are growing in the brook by my house. Over time the water probably weathered the trees so much that this happened.]]> 2020-03-25 18:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/475209861 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/476318171 I noticed that while I was on my walk, there was a tree that had fallen down. this tree had fallen down because there was so much water that the water had made the sand so soft that the tree up rooted and almost flipped over because of the wind.

I thought about how this was happening and found out it was something called weathering. Since it snows so much where we live that turns into ice and Ice is something that can cause the road to crack so that is how weathering broke down the road. ]]> 2020-03-27 14:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/478465983 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/478931312 While I was on my walk I noticed that the river was washing away the soil underneath the trees and they were falling into the river, I think this is an example of erosion.]]> 2020-03-27 17:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/478931312 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/479097373 2020-03-27 19:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/479097373 https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/479113798 I noticed the Exeter River and the rain had eroded the road away down the street from me.]]> 2020-03-27 20:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsRushia/oj117c6tsqsi/wish/479113798
