The document discusses different types of rocks and earth processes including weathering, erosion, deposition, and mass wasting. It defines various rock types such as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. It also explains processes like weathering, erosion, and deposition and the factors that influence them.

*It is a naturally occurring aggregates of one or more minerals
SKORC ROCK It is a rock formed from the hardening and crystallization of magma or molten materials that originates within the earth.
OIEUSNG IGNEOU S It is a rock that provides information about the surface conditions that existed in the Earth’s past. ESIMNTEADRY SEDIMENTAR It involves, breaking down of rocks into its constituent minerals or particles with no decay of any rocks-forming minerals. ISDINTGREAITON DISINTEGRATIO It is the rotting or decaying of organic materials such as plant and animal remains.

Four different pictures for each
item are presented below. Determine the words by analyzing the 4 pictures in the given puzzle. You will be given 5 seconds to answer WEATHERIN EROSIO DEPOSITIO They are the Exogenic Processes - a process that occur in the surface of the Earth: a. Gravity b. Water c. Wind d. Organism Types of Exogenic Processes 1. Weathering is a process of disintegration (physical) and decomposition (chemical) of rocks. - the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces. Two types of weathering 1. Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rocks without changing its composition. 2. Chemical weathering there are changes in the composition of rocks due to chemical reaction. Factors of Mechanical weathering 1. Pressure: collision of rocks creates extreme pressure which weather rocks. 2. Temperature: most materials expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Factors of Mechanical weathering
3. Frost Wedging: splitting or breaking
- up of rocks by the pressure of ocean water (ice) in cracks in the rocks, the pressure in the ice is exerted to the rocks causing them to break apart. Factors of Mechanical weathering 4. Abrasion: is the rubbing, scouring or scraping of rocks through friction. 5. Organic activity: happens when plants break up rocks with their growing roots or plant acids help dissolve rock. Factors of Mechanical weathering 6. Human activity: human activities can speed it up. 7. Burrowing animals: can break rocks and stir sediments causing physical weathering. Animals that burrow can also bring fresh material to the surface where physical and chemical weathering can work more efficiently. 2. Chemical weathering - the process of chemicals in rainwater making changes to the minerals in a rock. a. Dissolution: rocks and mineral are dissolved in water. b. Hydrolysis: breaking down of rocks by acidic water to produce clay and soluble salt. acid in water reacts in some type of rocks like feldspar to form clay, water may also react with sodium- rich minerals forming salt solution. c. Oxidation: breaking down of rocks by oxygen in/ and water often giving iron-rich rocks a rusty-colored weather surface. 2. Erosion: is the separation and removal of weathered rocks due to the different agents like wind, water and ice that causes the transportation of the minerals to where they were deposited. 3. Mass Wasting: is the movement of the sediments downslope under the influence of gravity like fall, slide, avalanche and flow. - it is also known as slope movement or mass movement. Factors affecting of Mass Wasting 1. Water 2. Soil cover 3. Geologic features 4. Triggering events Types of Mass Wasting 1. Falls/rock falls Types of Mass Wasting 2. Rock slides/debris 3. Mudflows/flows 4. Slumps 5. Creep 4. Depositions: is the process in which weathered materials carried out by erosion settle down in a particular location.
