Describe a weathering process.

1. Describe a weathering process? Is it chemical or physical? Post a picture of an environment that has that type of weathering. What is the climate of that location?2. The level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has been increasing for more than a century. Do you think this increase tends to accelerate or slow down the rate of chemical weathering of Earth’s surface rocks? Explain your conclusion.3. What soil types are common where you are from? Describe at least one of them. What conditions allowed those soil types develop there? Google images has soil maps for most states.4. Find an image of a sedimentary rock formation, then describe the location, the type of sedimentary rock, and describe how it formed. Paste the picture into your document and email me the picture so that I can put in a PowerPoint slide for the in-class discussion.5. Find a close up picture of a clastic sedimentary rock. Describe its clast sizes, sorting, and shape of the clasts. What have you learned about where the rock formed compared to where the clasts originated? What does it tell you about the environment of deposition? Paste the picture into your document and email me the picture so that I can put in a PowerPoint slide for the in-class discussion.6. Find a close up picture of a metamorphic rock. What type of metamorphic rock is it and why did you come to that conclusion.
