Coasts quiz

1. 1Mechanical weathering is dominant in [blank_start]cold[blank_end] climates.
   Chemical weathering is faster in [blank_start]hot and wet[blank_end] conditions.
   Rocks are more or less prone to weathering depending on [blank_start]composition.[blank_end]

   1. Acold
   2. Bdry
   3. Chot
   4. Dhot and wet
   5. Ecold and dry
   6. Fcomposition.
   7. Gsize
   8. Hshape
2. 2What type of weathering does this describe:
   Water gets into cracks, freezes and expands by 10%. This exerts a force and breaks rocks open. Most common in winter.

   1. AFreeze-thaw
   2. BSalt-weathering
   3. CCarbonation
3. 3Select all the types of mechanical weathering:

   1. Afreeze thaw
   2. Bcarbonation
   3. Chydrolysis
   4. Dwetting and drying
   5. Eoxidation
   6. Fsalt weathering
   7. Grock falls
   8. Hsoil creep
4. 4Mass movement depends on dip of [blank_start]strata[blank_end], [blank_start]rock[blank_end] type and structure, [blank_start]vege[blank_end]tation, and [blank_start]satu[blank_end]ration.

   1. Astrata
   2. Brock
   3. Cvege
   4. Dsatu
5. 5[blank_start]Landslide[blank_end] = rapid movement of detached slabs of rock down a slide plane
   [blank_start]Soil creep[blank_end] = very slow downhill movement of individual particles
   [blank_start]Rock fall[blank_end] = individual fragments fall from cliff often due to freeze thaw

   1. ALandslide
   2. Brock fall
   3. CSoil creep
   4. Dmudflow
   5. ERock fall
   6. Frotational slip
