The earths land is changed by weathering and erosion

Weathering
Weathering breaks down a rock into smaller pieces.

What are the three causes of weathering?

1) Ice 2) Plant Roots 3) Water

1) Weathering happening because of ice


Rain water goes into the crack The rain water freezes and expands in the rock The expanding ice makes the cracks bigger Periods of freezing and melting cause the rock to break

2) Weathering happening because of plant roots


Plant roots grow into the rocks crack The roots make the crack bigger and breaks the rock

3) Weathering happening because of water


Water flows over the rock and moves the rock Rocks start bumping into each other Rocks start breaking down, become smooth, and get smaller

Erosion
Erosion is the movement of rock material from one place to another

What are the two ways erosion occurs?
