The rock cycle involves changing the 3 types of rock from
WEATHERING is rocks into bits
Rainwater contains dissolved from the that make it slightly
Chemical Weathering happens when the slightly acidic rain falls onto the rocks it reacts with the in those rocks
The new substance formed in Chemical Weathering may be (able to dissolve) and or they may be more than the original rock
Trees can also help break up rocks. Plant roots can grow into the in the rocks. When the roots grow they make the cracks and the rock can
There are types of Physical Weathering
Rocks (get bigger) and (get smaller) when the changes. If the this happens to the rock over and over again, can form. This is called weathering
When water gets into cracks in rocks and then , water as it , causing the cracks to get . This is called
EROSION is the of the broken bits of rock away from the site of
TRANSPORTATION is when the broken bits of rock get usually by or .
ABRASION is when the bits of rock while getting transported.
DEPOSITION is the laying down of the
BURIAL, COMPRESSION AND CEMENTATION is and the layers, eventually forming Rocks
HEAT AND PRESSURE is the further and turns the rock nto Rocks
MELTING intense heating makes the rock partially , changing it to
COOLING solidification of the molten rock to form Rocks
Glaciers are rivers of
Glaciers move very slowly but they can transport very large pieces of
Rocks carried by glacies also bits of rock from the land they are moving over
Rocks below the glacier are (scraped away) into very small pieces
Once the rock is abraded, the rock becomes and as all the sharp edges are scraped off
