Transcript describe or name the specific type of weathering that is taking place

Around the room there are 10 stations. At each
station there is a caption and a picture.
Determine which form of weathering is taking place
Physical (mechanical) or Chemical
Once you determined the form of weathering,
describe or name the specific type of
weathering that is taking place.
For example; Station One show Mechanical
Weathering called Frost Wedging
Station One
Water is continually
freezing and
thawing
Station Two
Water metal and air
have combined to
create rust
Station Three
Tree roots grow deep
underground and push
up pieces of cement.
This cement also cracks
and breaks.
Station Four
Pine needles are
damages; calcium is
depleted form the soil.
It will take years
before the soil returns
to a normal pH.
Station Five
Layers of Igneous
rock are broken off
the surface.
Station Six
Carbonic acids are
created when CO2 mixes
with water. This acid
dissolves calcite and
dolomite.
Station Seven
Animals burrow into
the ground and break
particles of rock off of
larger rocks
Station Eight
Rock colliding with one
another breaks of smaller
pieces of rock.
Station Nine
Rushing water flows
over the rocks in this
stream. Rocks are
broken by other rocks in
the stream and are also
dissolved by weak acids
in the water.
Explain how both physical and chemical
weathering are taking place.
Station Ten
This marble statue
has been outside
for many years. The
features of this
statue have been
damaged over time.
