About this document
Understanding Weathering in Earth Science by cmilotte is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Physical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through mechanical means like freezing and thawing or the growth of plant roots, while chemical weathering uses chemical reactions to decompose rocks into different minerals or dissolve them away. Students will identify types of weathering by acting out the life of a rock from formation to weathering through physical and chemical processes in an activity called the Autobiography of a Rock.
