What is weathering in geography?
weathering is not the same as eroding!!! but it is when something brakes down or gets smaller naturally (preferably rocks). Physical weather: you can have: freeze thaw which is when water gets into a crack, freezes over night (when water freeze it expands) pushes the crack open a bit more, then more water comes in a this keeps happening until it cracks in 1/2. Physical Weathering: onion skin weathering usually happens is the dessert: the rock get so hot in the day and expands, then quickly gets freezing cold at night and contract (after many night of this happening, it sheds the outer layer, like an onion skin, and this keep happening). Warning: this happens after a very very long period of time. Chemical Weathering: chemical weathering is when acid rain or chemical in the river etc react with mineral in rocks (( usually in sedimentary rocks)). Biological Weathering: this is when roots of plants grow into rock cracks, prizing open the cracks more and more. it is also when small animal burrow into cracks etc. there are more types but these are the major ones! hope this helps :)
Three ways in which waves erode rock?
1. They force water into cracks in the rock. That helps to break it up. It's called hydraulic action. 2. They dissolve soluble material from the rock. This is called solution. 3. They fling sand and pebbles against the rock. These wear it away like sandpaper. This is called abrasion.
What is a set of cracks that forms when two tectonic plates are pulling away from each other known as?
Divergent Plate Boundary. A Rift Valley forms between the two plates.

The borders, or cracks, between tectonic plates are called ________.?
The cracks between the plates of the lithosphere are called plate boundaries. They are the cause of plate tectonics and many natural disasters.
What does the presence of earthquakes tell about the land?
It is indicative of the presence of fault lines (cracks in the mantle), or faults (separations between tectonic plates).
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What are the deep cracks where tectonic plates pull away from each other?
This deep cracks a better known as Faults.
What tectonic plates move the cracks that occur are known as faults?
True
When tectonic plates move the cracks that occur are known as faults.?
Yes they are.
Why are no volcanoes found in certain parts of world?
Volcanoes are only found on the edge of tectonic plates & they can also be found on cracks in the tectonic plates which is un-common
When deep set of cracks forms when tectonic plates pull away from each other?
Rift zone
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
