Question

the process of rocks breaking down due to wind, rain, and temperature changes is called
the solid part of earth, including mountains and valleys, is part of the
plant roots breaking apart rocks is an example of
the process of water being heated by the sun and turning into vapor is called

Explanation:

• Weathering is the physical or chemical breakdown of rocks. Wind, rain, and temperature changes are physical agents causing rock breakdown.
• The geosphere encompasses Earth's solid parts like mountains and valleys.
• Physical (mechanical) weathering involves physical forces breaking rocks. Plant roots exert physical force.
• Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns to vapor due to heat (e.g., from the sun).

Answer:

1. Weathering
2. Geosphere
3. Physical (mechanical) weathering
