WEATHERING, EROSION AND DEPOSITION

Name: Section: Date:

A. Write C if the statement is correct and I if the statement is incorrect


1. Gravity is one of the agents of weathering.
2. Exfoliation occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes, and expands eventually
breaking the rock apart.
3. Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide dissolved in water makes acid and reacts with
rocks.
4. Burrowing animals cannot contribute to weathering of rocks.
5. Hydrolysis takes place when acid rain reacts with rock-forming minerals such as feldspar to
produce clay and salts that are removed in solution.
6. Animals produce acidic compounds that can cause rock disintegration.
7. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide when mixed with water produce basic
a substance that can break down rocks’ components.
8. Humans indirectly contribute to weathering.
9. Water alters the chemical components of rocks that cause weathering.
10. Earthworms are physical weathering agents.
B. Write PC if Physical Weathering, CW if Chemical Weathering, or BW if Biological
Weathering

1. Balete tree grows at the wall of the building.


2. Construction workers use power tools to break the rocks.
3. Insects secrete acidic substances on rocks.
4. Glaciers carve its pathways.
5. Rainwater combined with iron on rocks produces rust.
6. Carbon dioxide mixed with water produces carbonic acid that reacts with rocks.
7. Water freezes in a large crack of a rock.
8. Strong winds blow small particles of the rocks.
9. Rocks form bubbles after the heavy pour of acid rain.
10. Rocks fall down from the mountain and break.
II. Read and analyze the following questions. Write the letter of the correct answer in the space
provided.

1. Which of these statements are TRUE about mechanical weathering?


I. breaks rock material into smaller pieces
II. changes the chemical composition of rocks
III. Moss growing on the wall fence creates cracks on the walls
IV. beach rock gets hot in t he daytime and cools in the evening thus
creating fractures in the rock
a. I and II b. I and III c. I and IV d. II and III
2. Which of the following activities has resulted in an increased rate of chemical
weathering through acidification?
a. The growth of plant roots on the rock crack.
b. The disintegration of rocks during construction and mining
c. The release of too much carbon dioxide in the air that turns rain into
weak acid

rain to form acids

II. The process by which rocks are formed by heat and pressure
III. The mechanical or chemical process by which rocks are broken down
IV. The process by which rocks are chemically strengthened due to exposure to
heat and pressure
a. I, II, and III b. I, II, and IV c. I, III and IV d. II, III and IV
6. How does gravity contribute to weathering?
a. by expansion of rocks c. by creating holes in rocks
