What to Focus On

  • Weathering is a static process occurring at the original location of rocks
  • It leads to formation of soil essential for agriculture
  • Involves both disintegration (physical breakdown) and decomposition (chemical change)

  • Physical weathering: mechanical breakdown without chemical change
  • Chemical weathering: breakdown through chemical reactions
  • Biological weathering: breakdown by living organisms

  • Block disintegration: rocks split along natural joints
  • Granular disintegration: rocks break into mineral components
  • Exfoliation: rocks peel off in concentric layers

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Weathering and erosion are the same process

Chemical weathering only happens in hot climates

Deltas and estuaries are the same landform

Memory Tips

Three types of weathering: Physical, Chemical, Biological

Physical weathering processes: Block disintegration, Granular disintegration, Exfoliation

Chemical weathering: Oxidation, Carbonation, Hydration, Solution (OCHS)

River course stages: Young (Upper), Mature (Middle), Old (Lower)
