II. Directions: For each of the situations below, state whether it describes erosion, weathering, or possibly both. Explanation Erosion, Weathering or Both Activity 1. A very large storm occurs along the coast. The powerful waves wash away sand and move some larger rocks on the shore. 2. Rainfall collects in a crack in a rock. When the temperature drops, this water freezes and expands. This causes the crack to become slightly larger. 3. This rock is at the top of a cliff. After several years, the crack is large enough that a piece breaks off and tumbles to the bottom.

After several years, the crack is large enough that a piece breaks off and tumbles to the bottom. 4. A tree in your front yard spreads its roots beneath a sidewalk, pushing the sidewalk up and causing it to crack. As the tree grows, these cracks are expanded as the roots grow into and between them. 5. A glacier scrapes pieces of rock from underneath it and carries these pieces down the side of a mountain and into the valley. 6. A river flowing through soft rock dissolves some of the rock and carries this material downstream. 7. As a fire rages through a forest, a large boulder is heated quickly. This rapid change in temperature causes the outer layer of the boulder to crack. 8. The expansion of ice on a cold night breaking up a road surface. 9. River flowing through fields as it changes its course. 10. A gully formed by running water, eroding sharply into soil. EA 1st Se MONT
