Document Summary
Earth: an introduction to physical geology, 10e (tarbuck/lutgens/tasa) 6. 1 multiple-choice questions: clay minerals formed from gabbro or diorite bedrock illustrate which kind of weathering, chemical, proactive, syntropical, mechanical. Diff: 1: which of the following is/are most susceptible to chemical weathering by dissolution, quartz, clay minerals, iron oxides, calcite. Diff: 1: frost wedging is the major weathering process contributing to the formation of which regolith material, tropical laterites, talus slopes, c soil horizons, mature pedalfers. Diff: 1: what portion of an angular, fracture-bounded granitic block shows the highest rate of weathering, the unfractured interior, the edges and corners, the crack surfaces not including edges and corners, all of the above show equal rates. Diff: 1: what two factors speed up rates of chemical reaction and weathering in rocks and soils, low temperatures; very dry, low temperatures; very moist, high temperatures; very dry, warm temperatures; very moist.
