Weathering and Erosion

Question 4 • * FL-2001340-Environmental Science Sem 2

Weathering is _______.

Answer
A
caused by the movement of materials over rocks
B
not a natural process
C
a process whereby rocks are broken down by direct contact with the atmosphere
D
all of the above

Explanation

Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks through direct contact with the atmosphere, such as exposure to water, air, and temperature changes. Movement of rock or sediment is erosion, so choice A describes a different process; weathering is natural, so choice B is also incorrect. The correct choice is “a process whereby rocks are broken down by direct contact with the atmosphere.”
