A large rock rolled down a mountain cracking several smaller rocks along the way. This is an example of Mechanical weathering Chemical weathering Erosion Molecular weathering @iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it's obvious it's weathers, do you have any idea which?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

weathering*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Chemical weathering would change the composition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the final answer? @iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not giving it to you, you have to figure it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it chemical ? @iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it say anywhere the composition has changed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then no it's not chemical weathering

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it erosion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know, if you're not going to put any effort and just guess, I'm not willing to help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bingtamekia can you help me please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did the rock change at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the chemical composition changed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because collision between rock surfaces can cause mechanical weathering and the chemical composition doesnt change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its mechanical weathering

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah it's mechanical weathering...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guys! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do need anymore help with anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):
