Earth Science is the name for all science that collectively seeks to understand the Earth and its neighbors in space. Some Earth scientists use their knowledge of the Earth to locate and develop energy and mineral resources. Others also study the impact of human activity on Earth’s environment and design methods to protect the planet. Some also use their

12.1 Weathering 1-7 Mechanical and chemical weathering are different because mechanical is when a rock is split and then worn down by the elements‚ and chemical weathering is when different minerals and substances are changed in a rock. Ice and water are involved in chemical weathering because the water soaks into the cracks of the rock and then it freezes and expands so the rock is split more. Upward expansion is related to mechanical weathering because when the rocks are lifted up they become

Equilibrium is meant as the material that is on Earth’s surface that is stable because they have adapted over time in accordance with chemicals and conditions that exist within their environment. When rocks are forced out of equilibrium their forms alter and they are broken down into different particles. The new particles that are formed when exposed to the elements are then in equilibrium

reference to a frost heave.) Plant action Tiny root hairs seek out small cracks and pits in rock. Once the root hairs find a place they grow and expand. The expansion causes great pressure and cracks the rock. Exfoliation Rocks formed deep in the Earth are made under high pressure. When the pressure is released the rocks expand & crack. May also be caused by alternate heating and cooling of rocks by weather conditions. Abrasion- rubbing by other rocks. Chemical weathering is where the rock material

Unit 2 Activity 5 Salman Shaik UV Radiation The sun if one of the primary sources of Energy for the Earth‚ but it also emits many harmful rays towards us. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is very similar to visible light‚ but the ultraviolet region starts right after the violet end‚ hence‚ ultra”violet” rays. The UV radiation from the sun can be very hazardous to humans and all other living organisms. High exposure to UV radiation can cause melanomas as the UV rays can affect living organism
