Weathering is the result of a series of physical, biological, and chemical processes. . GEOL 2110. Lecture 2. Scales of Time and Change. Major Concepts. Geological events cover huge amounts of time that are hard to grasp in the span of human life. We tend to focus on dramatic, short-lived geologic events that we witness and are unaware of subtle, but geologically important events . Comparison of Conventional & Short-Age Geology.

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. . The Study of Earth’s Landforms.

Determine the spatial distribution, age and attitude of the rock types within an area. Predict how weathering might reshape surface features (topography). Weathering and Erosion. The top part of the lithosphere—the earth’s surface—changes as rocks are broken down to smaller pieces and carried away.. Normally we think of time in terms of days or years but geologists commonly refer to events that happened millions or billions of years ago. For example earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. GEOLOGIC TIME. What processes cause this to happen?. What can you say about the speed of these processes?. Inference Point. Rockies. 80 milllion years old. Appalachians. 480 million years old.
