What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of?
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of abrasion. Intermediate earthquakes occur 70 to 300 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
What process will most likely chemical weather on iron-rich rocks?
Corrosion will most likely chemically weather an iron-rich rock.
Rock that is formed by the process of lithification is called?
sedimentary rocks
What is the process in which rocks first bend and then break?
The process is called weathering because the changes in the weather break the rocks.
What process by which iron in rocks react with oxygen is called?

How do oxygen chemically weather rocks?
There is no significant weathering from oxygen. However, the particles in the wind (oxygen) can weather a rock.
What is oxygen called when it is combined with rocks and minerals?
It is called oxidation when rocks and minerals are combined with oxygen. It is chemical weathering.
What is the process by which softer less weather resistant rocks are worn away leaving more weather resistant rocks exposed?
Erosion.
Which process causes rocks to weather to a reddish color?
deflation
What is differental weathering?
The process by which softer, less weather resistant rocks wear away and leave harder, more weather resistant rocks behind
The process by which exposure to weather breaks down rocks and minerals?
Weathering
What type of weathering is a process by which softer less weather resistant rocks are worn away leaving more weather resistant rocks exposed?
Differential weathering
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of?
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of abrasion. Intermediate earthquakes occur 70 to 300 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
Why does most weather occur?
weather changes occur in a slow process. weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.
