Question

The action of a tree stump splitting bedrock depicts what type of process?

А. chemical weathering

B. physical weathering

С. deposition

D. erosion

Answer 1

Answer: Physical Weathering

Explanation: It is physical weathering because it is caused by natural elements causing the rock to break. It is not chemical weathering because it is not using any chemical reaction to break the rock. It is not erosion or deposition because it is still not finished with the process with breaking the rock. Think of it this way:

Step 1: Weathering - Breaks rock/stone

Step 2: Erosion - Taking the small bits of rock

Step 3: Deposition - Dropping the rock

Answer 2

B. Physical weathering
