Question
drag the tiles to the correct locations. the tiles can be used more than once.
the chart contains statements that describe a particular rock. determine whether each characteristic of the rock increases or decreases its likelihood of being impacted by weathering and erosion.
\
$$\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\\hline
it is a relatively soft rock made of calcite. & \\\\
\\hline
it is relatively hard and made of quartz. & \\\\
\\hline
it is a porous rock. & \\\\
\\hline
it does not have any fractures or cracks. & \\\\
\\hline
it is located in a mild and dry climate. & \\\\
\\hline
it is located in a stream bed on the slope of a hill. & \\\\
\\hline
\\end{tabular}$$
tiles:
- increases likelihood of weathering and erosion
- decreases likelihood of weathering and erosion
Analizar la resistencia mineralógica y dureza de la roca
- Calcita (blanda, soluble en ácido): aumenta la probabilidad de meteorización y erosión.
- Cuarzo (duro, químicamente estable): disminuye la probabilidad de meteorización y erosión.
Evaluar las características estructurales de la roca
- Porosidad (permite entrada de agua): aumenta la probabilidad de meteorización y erosión.
- Ausencia de fracturas o grietas: disminuye la probabilidad de meteorización y erosión.
Evaluar los factores ambientales y de ubicación
- Clima templado y seco (baja humedad, menor meteorización química): disminuye la probabilidad de meteorización y erosión.
- Lecho de un arroyo en una pendiente (alta energía hidráulica y gravedad): aumenta la probabilidad de meteorización y erosión.
