What do These 3 Things Have in Common? ? Statue Sand Pile Grand Canyon
They have all been subjected to the process of
I. WEATHERING: THE CHANGING OF ROCK BY PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL MEANS
For weathering to occur the rocks must be exposed to: AIR (atmosphere) WATER (hydrosphere) ACTIONS OF LIVING ORGANISM
Evidence of Weathering: The end product of the weathering of rocks is SEDIMENT
A. PHYSICAL WEATHERING: The breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the chemical composition
FROST ACTION The alternate freezing and thawing of water
WATER EXPANDS WHEN IT FREEZES
Ice Wedging or Frost Action
Half Dome in Yosemite California
A Weathered Sidewalk
ABRASION The wearing away of rocks by scraping against each other
RUNNING WATER AND WIND CAN CAUSE ROCKS TO RUB AGAINST EACH OTHER AND WEAR THEM DOWN
EXFOLIATION Removal of outer layers of rock, due to uplifting from beneath
PLANT ACTION
PLANT ACTION Plant roots break thru rocks or lift buried rocks to the surface
PLANT ROOTS EXPOSES NEW SURFACES TO WEATHERING
CHEMICAL WEATHERING
B. CHEMICAL WEATHERING: Breaks down rock by changing its chemical composition - USUALLY INVOLVES WATER
OXIDATION OCCURS WHEN OXYGEN FROM AIR COMBINES WITH MINERALS (& water) TO FORM OXIDES Ex. RUST
This washed up on a beach!!
A rusty gate……
CARBONATION OCCURS WHEN WATER CONTAINING CARBONIC ACID (H 2 CO 3) DISSOLVES MINERALS
EX. LIMESTONE CAVES
ACIDS SULFUR AND NITROGEN COMBINE WITH WATER TO MAKE RAINWATER UNNATURALLY ACIDIC Ex. ACID RAIN
What sedimentary rock is Cleopatras needle made from? Central Park CLEOPATRA’S NEEDLE
• HYDRATION OCCURS WHEN MINERALS _______ SUCH AS MICA AND FELDSPAR WATER ABSORB ____ AND WEAKEN AND CLAY FORM ____
II. FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE RATE OF WEATHERING A. PARTICLE SIZE B. COMPOSITION OF ROCK C. CLIMATE
A. PARTICLE SIZE If you increase the surface area you will ______ the rate of weathering increase
Rate of weathering Particle Size
Rate of weathering Surface Area
LARGE PARTICLES = SLOW WEATHERING SMALL PARTICLES = FAST WEATHERING
B. COMPOSITION OF ROCK SOME ROCKS ARE MORE RESISTANT TO WEATHERING (Weather slower).
What metamorphic rock is this tombstone made from?
WATER DOLOSTONE SHALE LIMESTONE SANDSTONE SHALE WHICH ROCK IS THE MOST RESISTANT TO WEATHERING?
DOLOSTONE SHALE LIMESTONE SANDSTONE SHALE WHICH ROCK IS THE MOST RESISTANT TO WEATHERING?
DOLOSTONE SHALE LIMESTONE SANDSTONE SHALE WHICH ROCK IS THE LEAST RESISTANT TO WEATHERING?
DOLOSTONE SHALE LIMESTONE SANDSTONE SHALE WHICH ROCK IS THE LEAST RESISTANT TO WEATHERING?
CLIMATE Average temperature & precipitation What type of weathering would occur?
C. CLIMATE AFFECTS: FROST ACTION CHEMICAL WEATHERING
If: temperature = 5 precipitation = 100 Moderate physical and chemical weathering
temperature = 20 precipitation = 100 Faster rate of chemical weathering
If: temperature = -10 precipitation = 50 Faster physical weathering
CLIMATIC EFFECTS ON WEATHERING: PHYSICAL WEATHERING DOMINATES IN COLD, MOIST CLIMATES
CLIMATIC EFFECTS ON WEATHERING: CHEMICAL WEATHERING DOMINATES IN WARM, MOIST CLIMATES
IN GENERAL WHEN THERE IS MORE MOISTURE(Water) THERE IS MORE WEATHERING
What does weathering produce? (Hint more valuable than gold)
SOIL FORMATION: SOIL IS THE COMBINATION OF: ROCK PARTICLES MINERALS ORGANIC MATTER
THE END RESULT OF WEATHERING AND BIOLOGIC ACTIVITY IS:
Adding to a compost pile
SOIL FORMATION: Breakdown of rock Addition of organic material ( from decomposition ) (biological activity)
SOIL HORIZONS (LAYERS) A (TOP SOIL) rich in organic material B little organic material rich in minerals leeched from horizon A C partly weathered broken up bedrock sits on top of solid bedrock
The two types of sediment (soil) are: Transported Residual
TRANSPORTED SOILS: CARRIED FROM LOCATION OF PARENT ROCK MOST OF NEW YORK SOIL IS TRANSPORTED
SOIL ASSOCIATIONS (CHARACTERISTICS) 3 WAYS THAT SOIL CAN DIFFER IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS: 1. COMPOSITION (bedrock) 2. MOISTURE 3. ORGANIC MATERIAL
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE SOIL’S ABILITY TO SUSTAIN LIFE?
Terrace planting
Wind breaks like trees Planted To Stop Wind erosion
Flood Levees
