Erosion is NOT weathering because erosion is the breaking down of only natural rocks, soils, and minerals.]]> 2018-03-20 19:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250874 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250886 Old wood farms are a good example of weathering. As the wood ages, wind and rain begin to erode and crack the wood. Even as the wind and rain begin to attack the wood, termites (wood-eating insects) also begin to feed on the wood due to the nutrients in it.]]> 2018-03-20 19:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250886 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250904 This is a video on weathering.

The natural rock of the canyon are not naturally smooth and do not bend the way it does in the given picture. There is also a river at the bottom of the canyon, giving the clue that erosion by water has taken place (and is still taking place) on the rock.]]> 2018-03-20 19:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250932 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250936 This is a video on erosion.

These sediments are transported by natural agents on the earth.]]> 2018-03-20 19:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250953 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250958 Sand dunes are a great example of deposition. Sand (a type of soil) is constantly being moved around by the wind to different locations, creating sand dunes. Sand dunes can also have the wind take sand from them to be transported to other parts of the desert (and to other sand dunes!).]]> 2018-03-20 19:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250958 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244250968 This is a video on deposition.

They are called mechanical, biological, and chemical weathering.

Mechanical Weathering - Mechanical weathering is the process in which a rock is broken into smaller pieces that still have traits of the rock they were made from. This can be caused by extreme weather changes and more. The most known, however, is through water. When it rains/snows/storms and water enters a rock, at night, it will freeze into ice and expand. During the day, it will melt. This process will go on until the rock breaks apart.

Chemical Weathering - Chemical weathering results in the weathering of the material. This is mainly caused by water. Chemical weathering is very inactive, but even a small amount of dissolved materials can make it very active. In industrial areas, water in the clouds is dissolved with Nitrogen Oxide and Sulfur Dioxide to create acid rain. This causes damage to the soil, plant life, and buildings.

Biological Weathering - Biological weathering is weathering caused by animals and plants. When a tree grows, the roots extend in broken soil and rock, but as it ages, it begins to pressure the soil and rock to break it. Burrowing animals make holes into the ground for shelter, but when they do that, they expose the soil to types of weathering, like climate change.]]> 2018-03-20 19:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/w28t1u2sgujv/wish/244251004
