- 6. there are 3 major rock that make up the rock cycle metamorphic, igneous, sedimentary
- 7. is the separation of thin shells or spalls from massive rocks like granite or basalt
- 9. is where a rock gets broken down by the pressure of water freezing the rock and breaks it
- 12. Action is when mechanical weathering happens animals dig around into the ground and loosen soil
- 13. they reach down into the ground for minerals for their own growth
- 14. is rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes
- 15. is the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide to give carbonates, bicarbonates, and carbonic acid
- 16. the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.
- 18. is the process of rubbing, scouring, or scraping the partials of a rock into little bits of rocks then they are eroded away

- 2. weathering is where chemical reaction happen to rocks like if iron and water combine it becomes rust
- 4. it is a theory changes the earths crust during different amounts of history that results in the action of continuing the uniform processes
- 5. the process where wind, water eroded things like soil, rocks, etc
- 8. the process or result of oxidizing or being oxidized.
- 10. it is the process of being broken down long periods of time
- 11. is the scientific study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time.
- 17. is an association between one or two fungus species and an alga or cyanobacterium
