The document discusses weathering processes through an experiment dissolving eggshells of different sizes in water and vinegar at different temperatures. It finds that powdered eggshell dissolved fastest in hot vinegar. Smaller particle sizes and higher temperatures increase weathering rates. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces, hastening chemical weathering. Chemical weathering is faster in vinegar than water due to acidity. Weathering is generally faster in hot, wet climates than cold, dry ones. The document also contains exercises identifying weathering terms and sorting examples of mechanical and chemical weathering.

a. Which size of the eggshell and liquid combination resulted in fastest
dissolution times? The powdered eggshells with the hot vinegar resulted in fastest dissolution times.
b. What is the relationship between particle size and time it takes for the eggshell to dissolve? How does this relationship apply to weathering in nature? The connection between particle size and time it takes for the eggshell to dissolve is when the greater the particle is the harder/slower it's liquefy or disintegrated.
c. Using the activity as a model, how mechanical weathering (breaking
or crushing) contributes to chemical weathering (dissolution)? How can you demonstrate that chemical weathering can hasten mechanical weathering? Mechanical weathering contributes to chemical weathering by breaking or smashing the stones until it transforms into small pieces and permitting chemical weathering to accelerate.
d. Compare dissolution time in room temperature water and hot water.
Using this as a model, what can you deduce about the relationship between temperature and weathering rate? The dissolution time in room temperature water is slower than in hot water, since in hot water it is quicker. Higher temperature expands the weathering rate since high temperature has high energy that permits the particles to disintegrate water.
e. Is there marked difference in the dissolution rate in water and
vinegar both at room temperature? What caused the difference? What does dissolution in vinegar simulate in nature? It is an indeed true that there is a marked difference in the dissolution rate in water and vinegar since vinegar is acidic that makes the dissolution rate quicker than water.

f. In what environment would weathering rate be faster? Slowest?
Explain your reasons based on the observations from this activity. The weathering rate would be quicker in a hot climate since it has a high kinetic energy that permits particles to break up quicker. In the interim, the weathering rate could be delayed in a cool climate. Chemical weathering regularly increments as temperature rises which means rocks is warm and wet environment experience quicker paces of chemical weathering compared it rocks in cold and dry environment.

It is the thin layer of material covering the earth’s surface and is formed from the weathering of rocks. (SOIL) 5. Ions from a rock are either released into water or recombine with other substances to form new materials, such as clay mineral. (CHEMICAL WEATHERING) 6. It is a process of breaking down of rocks and erode rock fragments from higher energy, sites transporting them to locations of lower energy. (EXOGENIC) 7. It is a process in which large flat or curved sheets of rock fracture and are detached outcrop from the due to pressure release. (EXFOLIATION) 8. It combines with other substances to form entirely new substances. (OXYGEN)

“What I Can Do”
Exercise 3._ BARANGAY TINAAN, CITY OF NAGA, CEBU “What type of weathering is shown in the picture? How does it affect the lives of the people living in the area?” The type of weathering in the photograph is a mechanical (physical) weathering because the fact that the effect of the avalanche can be huge as it causes obliterations everywhere and may even take our lives.
