Thawing and freezing could be the answer a type of erosion
There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.
1. Breaking of large rocks into small pebbles 2. Dissolving of limestones to form a cave 3. Movements of rocks and pebbles due to the flow of water.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from chemical and physical weathering of rock, their subsequent erosion and transportation to a place of deposit, and their lithification through compaction and cementation.
There are three types of rocks: 1)Igneous Rocks 2)Sedimentary Rocks 3)Metamorphic Rocks
Its due to temperature and pressure. when 2 continental plates converge the form a mountain belt, because there is no subduction zone they create a high range of mountains like the Himalayas. The common rock types are the metamorphic rocks and the pressure cause folds in the rock as they stretch depends on the direction. It can be anticline or syncline. Temperature also causes the folding of rocks as magma passes through rocks it makes the rock nearby ductile cause deformation on it.These are usually regional metamorphic rocks.
1. Animals break up rocks with their claws as they move around. 2. Animals waste materials help in the decay of rocks.
Anerobic respiration
it is called weathering; the rocks get weathered by wind, water, or earthquakes (main examples) and peices break off
weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smaller particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering
The Tropic of Capricorn passes through Botswana.
Firstly, Yes there is such thing as . Biological Weathering The process is: 1. Animals dig under rocks and into rocks. 2. Rocks undercut and cracks widen. 3. Rock's loosened or broken up 4. Rock's Collapse or fall apart.
The breaking down of rocks has to do with a process called erosion. Erosion happens over a long period of time, but it can do tremendous rock damage when it's done! Erosion is caused by weather or the ocean. For instance, the sea laps up on a cliff face for years, and then finally breaks off part of, or the whole cliff face.
