not changed the natural environment
A

when plates spread apart?
A. erosion
B. faulting
C. magma
D. subduction
C
Which of the following examples illustrates the difference
between physical weathering and chemical weathering?
A. Beaches form from the sediments washed up by the sea due
to physical weathering, but they erode away due
to chemicalweathering.
B. A rock with iron in it is exposed to air and crumbles because
of physical weathering, but the same rock crushed by a larger rock
breaks apart due to chemical weathering.
C. Minerals in water wear away at rock because
of physical weathering, but the rock wears away from the force of
the water due to chemical weathering.
D. A rock is broken into smaller pieces by physical weathering, but
some cave formations are created by chemical weathering.
