What is erosion? What is the main difference between physical and chemical weathering? Explain how increasing the surface area of a rock will affect the rate at which it will weather. Why does acid rain have a greater effect on the rock limestone than the rock granite? What agent of erosion transports the most sediment on a yearly basis? Name one FORM of physical weathering and explain how it breaks down a rock. Name one FORM of chemical weathering and explain how it breaks down a rock. Can intrusive igneous rocks, not exposed at the Earth’s surface, be weathered? Explain why or why not. Many statues are made from marble. In terms of weathering, this might not be the best choice for those that will be displayed outdoors. Tell me what classification of rock marble is, the main mineral it is composed of, and the TYPE and FORM of weathering that will mainly breakdown these statues and why. Classification of Rock: Mineral Composition: Type of Weathering: Form of Weathering:
