PPT-Weathering, Erosion, Deposition Intro Notes

Physical Weathering Weathering is the breakdown of rock or soil Physical weathering occurs when natural forces such as wind running water and moving ice physically break up rock and soil into smaller particles . Big . Idea 6:. Earth Structures. Description .   . Over geologic time, internal and external sources of energy have continuously altered the features of Earth by means of both constructive and destructive forces. All life, including .
