• Divergent plates
• Fault Block Mountains
• Mountains due to overthrust fault
• Trenches due to subduction
Identify whether it is physical or chemical weathering, THEN

•Freezing temperatures and moisture?
•Variation/fluctuations in H/C temperatures?
•CO2 and SO2 in the humid air?
•Presence of vegetation?
O2,
Moisture and metallic minerals?
