Exit Check 4.1 - Destructive Processes

In physics, the word mechanical means a direct application of force on an object. In contrast, chemical refers to any process that changes a substance through chemical reactions. You will study those reactions more in Chemistry next year.

As you read about a weathering process, ask yourself:

• Is the material being physically broken apart by a force? That’s mechanical weathering.
  
  

• Is it being changed or broken down by a chemical process (like acid, oxidation, or dissolving)? That’s chemical weathering.

Sometimes we find evidence of a process we can’t directly observe anymore. These questions ask you to connect landforms or features with the long-term processes that created them.

Use your notes about the different types of erosion and deposition and match them with the effects being shown or described. For example, U-shaped valleys were formed through glacial erosion and deltas are formed by river deposition.

If you're stuck, go back to the exact language from your notes packet or the videos we watched.

Those phrases and examples can help guide you to the correct match.

In the notes, we completed a general survey of erosion and deposition types. Each type is named after the main force or agent causing the movement, such as glacial erosion (caused by glaciers) or wind erosion (caused by strong winds).

To answer these questions, start by identifying what is doing the moving: glaciers, water, wind, gravity, ect.

Then match that to the correct erosion or deposition type or to the picture model that best shows that process in action.
