What are 3 causes of weathering?
What are 3 causes of weathering?
Ice wedging, root wedging and abrasion
How can wind contribute to weathering?
How can wind contribute to weathering?
Wind blows sediment, When the sediment blows against a rock, it grinds against it, causing weathering by abrasion.
How does ice cause weathering?
How does ice cause weathering?
Water gets into cracks in rocks. Over time, it freezes and melts expands, splitting the rocks.
How do plants contribute to weathering?
How do plants contribute to weathering?
Roots grow into cracks of rocks, breaking them apart.

What are some ways that landforms can change quickly?
What are some ways that landforms can change quickly?
Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes
True or False: All changes to landforms are a result of events in nature.
