Mechanical weathering is breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces without changing what the rock is. Kind of like carving a pumpkin. I can carve the pumpkin, which makes smaller pieces, but it still is a pumpkin.

Cleopatras NeedleCleopatras needle is an ancient stone monument made in Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs. This monument was moved from Egypt to New York City in 1881. Over time its surface has been exposed to weathering processes, both chemical and physical, and it has been a challenge to keep it in good condition. The type of stone reacts with acidic solutions easily which has caused it to weather away.Think-Pair-ShareHow does the monument get exposed to acidic solutions (liquids)?How do you think the amount of surface area a rock has affects how fast or slow it will weather?

V-MapChemical weathering is the breaking down of rocks that changes what the rock is chemically made of. There is always some sort of chemical reaction!Changes the colorChanges the chemical compositionReleases gas (bubbles)Releases odor

Chemical WeatheringHypothesis- make a prediction using no personal pronouns using an If, Then, Because statement.You will weather your chalk for 5 million years

What will happen to the chalk if it comes in contact with vinegar (weak acid)?If___________________ then_____________________ because_______________________________

ProceduresMake observations about the chalk in your data tableCut the chalk into a third, give one piece to each student and scratch your name on to itPlace the chalk in the beaker, use the droppers to drop 20 drops of vinegar onto your chalk Note any observations after every 5 drops(A or 1 is the timer for your group)

Initial ObservationsHow hard is the chalk? Can it be scratched by your finger nail?Observations During ExperimentObservations after the experimentConclusion ChalkIn this activity the vinegar, which is acidic, reacts with the chalk (which is made from calcite like shells of sea animals and limestone) forming carbon dioxide gas (the bubbles you see during the reaction are the carbon dioxide gas, CO2), water, and another calcium compound.

1. Describe what happened to the chalk?2. Think of the rock cycle, what process of the rock cycle did you demonstrate?3. How do you think this might happen in the natural world?(chemical weathering examples)4.

How do you think mechanical weathering can affect the rate at which chemical weathering occurs on the rock. 4. Why would 10, 1 kg pieces of limestone weather more quickly than one 10 kg piece of limestone?Do Now

1. Make observations about the picture to the right, then make an inference. What kind of weathering took place- mechanical or chemical? If its chemical, explain what type and why.If its mechanical, explain what type and why.Earth Changes Earth is constantly changing, and events occur that can change the face of the Earth. This can happen quickly or slowly

Deposition NotesDeposition occurs when there is a reduction in the energy of motion of the wind, running water or glaciers. The heavier materials are dropped (deposited) first followed by the lighter materials. Wind deposits materials when it loses energy of motion

often due to either the wind and particles hitting an object or the wind slowing down.

When the wind deposits materials it may make a dune or sand ripple.

Water Water speed slows due to meanders or entering another water body so it loses energy of motion therefore dropping the sediments it is carrying.

Water can make deltas or stream valleysV-Shape valleysGlaciersWhen a glacier slows due to a lack of energy of motion

It deposits materials along the front and sides of the glacier as piles of till known as moraines. Carves a U-Shape

GravityMass movement or mass wasting is movements of masses of bodies of soil, bed rock, rock debris, soil, or mud which usually occur along steep-sided hills and mountains because of the pull of gravity.

Limestone dissolved by carbonic acid.The oxidation (rusting) of minerals in rocks that contain iron. Repeated freezing and thawing of water in the cracks of rocks.

Erosion and DepositionErosion and deposition change and shape the Earth around us.

Using your tins, and sediment, make sure your sediment is at the correct heightPlace the indicator at the top of the hill.Use the water Record speed by timing how long it takes for the slider to move to the bottom, and measure the distance it traveled. Use ice cube- Record speed of erosion by timing how long it takes for the ice cube to move to the bottom, and measure the distance it traveled.

Record your observations into the data table.

Horizontal Vs. Vertical Deposition SortingHorizontal SortingVertical Sorting

When sediment is suddenly dropped in water the sediments separate by size

Largest on bottom, smallest on top. When sediment is deposited in a lake or a stream

The largest sediment is deposited where the water moves the fastest, and the smallest is where the water moves the slowest. As a river moves from the sourceIt starts out fast due to the steep slopes from the higher elevations then gradually slows down as the land becomes more flat.Where will larger sediment most likely be deposited?Where will the smaller sediment most likely be deposited?

Glacier ValleyU-ShapedAU-shaped valley isformedby the movement of a glacier down a slope. It has a characteristicU shape, with steep, straight sides and a flat bottom. The U-shape is due to the erosion of the glacier because of its weight as it scrapes the bottom of the valley floor.
