- CHEMICAL WEATHERING
-
- When rocks are weathered by chemicals it is called chemical weathering. An example of this is when acid rain reacts with limestone.
- Libisema: 2
- TEMPERATURE CHANGES
- As the temperature increases, rocks expand and then contract as the temperature falls. Over time this can cause the rock to crack and small pieces fall away.
- Libisema: 3
- FREEZE-THAW
- Water can get into the cracks of rocks. When the water freezes, it expands, causing the crack to get bigger. As the ice melts, the water goes deeper into the crack and can freeze again, making the crack even bigger.

- WIND, RAIN, WAVES
