Geology Final 1001 Peter Doran Exam
Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
Physical weathering processes -
correct answer ✅Heating and cooling, Frost wedging, Burowing
animals, Minearl Wedging, and Root Wedging.
physical weathering -
correct answer ✅Any process that breaks rock down into smaller
pieces without changing the chemistry of the rock; typically wind
and water.
chemcial weathering -
correct answer ✅the pricess that breaks down rock through
chemical changes
Physical Weathering and how it affects Chemical Weathering -
correct answer ✅Physical Weathering causes fractors making for
more surface area for chemcial Weathering to take place
How Weathering Makes the Oceans Salty -
correct answer ✅Water chemically reacts with materials,
Dissolved cations are carried by water to oceans, salt concentrates
in the ocean, and Evaporation leaves salt behind in the ocean,
increasing slat content in the Ocean.

Most Standsone is -
correct answer ✅less soluble quartz
Limestone is -
correct answer ✅Calcite
Factors that influence Weathering -
correct answer ✅-composition
-discontinuities
~fractures and bending
-more easily weathered form recesses
-amount of surface area
~fractures and pieces

Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
Rates of Weathering vary due to -
correct answer ✅Mineral Stability, Degree of compaction or
cemintation, Sutle differnces in texture.
The role of climate on Wethaering -
correct answer ✅The more rain there is the more weathering
happens in a certain place.
soil profile -
correct answer ✅O-Organic material
A-Organic material and mineral grains
E-Leached zone
B-Clay, iron oxides, calcite(in dry climates)
C-Weatherd Bewdrock
Soil Layers are called -
correct answer ✅soil horizons
Activites that threaten soil -
correct answer ✅overgrazing, Erosion, removing vegetation, Soil
Contamination
