This is the process involves reactions that dissolve or alter the minerals in rocks or change them into different minerals.
This is the process by which rocks are broken apart by physical processes.
This is a type of mechanical weathering where water enters cracks in rocks and freezes putting pressure on the rock that can cause it to break apart.
Rocks that have smaller amounts of this experience accelerated weathering due to the exposure to water and oxygen.
These 3 terms are used to describe specific particle sizes of weathered rock and are also referred to as sediment.
These two organisms can cause cracks in rocks due to root growth or burrowing.
This type of chamical weathering occurs when materials are exposed to oxygen and water.
This is the name of the scale that measures the strength of acids and bases.
This affects the soil temperature and moisture and also affects the rate of mechanical and chemical weathering.
These two types of acids weaken rand weather rocks by dissolving minerals in the rocks.
This is a mixture of weathered rock, decayed organic matter, mineral fragments, water, and air.
This is the dark colored material that comes from the decayed organic material.
These three things add organic matter to soil.
This is the name of the soil type in Murphysboro.
These are the five factors that affect soil formation.
This is the soil horizon that contains the litter including leaves, twigs, and other organic material.
This is the process by which dissolved minerals seep into horizon B from horizon A.
This is the soil horizon that is most similar to the parent bedrock.
This is the horizon that contains the most organic material.
This is the horizon that is darkest in color
When vegetation is cleared, this can occur to soil.
These are three ways in which clearing vegetation can lead to erosion.
This is a process in which plant stalks are left in the field and the soil is not plowed.
This process slows the flow of water down slopes and prevents gullys.
This process allows farmers to grow crops on very steep hills and mountains.
