  2. Frost action where water seeps into cracks, freezes, and breaks rock during cold weather

  3. Ice Wedging

  4. The part of plants that gets into cracks, grows, expands, and breaks rock

  5. Roots

  6. The process when rocks and sand rub, scratch, and wear away other rocks

  7. Abrasion

  8. Abrasion caused by rocks falling on other rocks

  9. Gravity

  10. True or False: Mechanical weathering changes the rock’s composition

  11. False

  12. True or False: Over time, water can dissolve the minerals of rocks.

  13. True

  14. A type of chemical weathering caused by polluted precipitation.

  15. Acid Rain

  16. These living things produce acids that break down rock over time.

  17. Lichens

  18. Chemical weathering that occurs when air reacts with iron in rocks to create rust.

  19. Oxidation

  20. True or False: Wind abrasion is a form of chemical weathering.

  21. False

  22. True or False: Water can be both a mechanical & chemical weathering agent.

  23. True

  24. The rate (or time it takes) for rocks to weather depends on climate, elevation, and _______________ (what the rock is made of).

  25. Composition

  26. Rocks in __________ climates will weather away faster because they are exposed to more ice, wind, and precipitation.

  27. Colder/cooler/higher

  28. _____________ Weathering happens faster in warm, humid climates

  29. Chemical

  30. True or False: The less rock that is exposed, the more it will weather away.

  31. False

  32. Devil’s Tower (where the softer part of the volcano weathered away but left the harder rock behind) is an example of __________ weathering.

  33. Differential

  34. The source (or beginning) of the soil is the __________ rock

  35. parent

  36. The dark soil found in Horizon A full of nutrients from decaying plants and animals

  37. Humus

  38. This is found in Horizon R (bottom layer) and has not been weathered at all

  39. Bedrock

  40. ___________ occurs in Horizon E when water drains nutrients down into this layer

  41. Leaching

  42. Thistype of soil sediment has the smallest grain size and water will NOT move through it easily (Sand, Clay, orSilt)

  43. Clay

  44. True or False: Desert soil is best for growing crops

  45. False

  46. A conservation technique where old harvested plants are left to lay on top of the soil

  47. No-till farming

  48. Planting rows of crops across the slope of a hill to hold create less soil erosion

  49. Contour Plowing

  50. Planting crops in different fields each year so that nutrients have time to be replenished
