Geology Class Project (little book)
Constructive/Destructive forces
Task: To construct a little book about weathering and soil
You will make a little book and place on each page the following requirements:
Book 1. Weathering and soil:
Page 1 Title, Name, Date, Period and a definition of weathering and soil with illustration
Page 2 Mechanical weathering: define Frost wedging, thermal expansion and contraction, biological mechanical
weathering, abrasion and exfoliation this should have labels connected to page 3
Page 3 Illustrations/ examples of Frost wedging, thermal expansion and contraction, biological mechanical weathering,
abrasion and exfoliation
Page 4 Chemical Weathering: Define: biological chemical weathering, hydrolysis chemical weathering, dissolution (man
made) ex: acid rain, dissolution (natural) ex: karst and oxidation
Page5 Illustration of the Biological chemical Weathering, Hydrolysis, and dissolution (man made) ex: acid rain,
dissolution (natural) ex: karst and oxidation
Page 6 What are the most important factors that will effect the rate of weathering?
Page 7 Define soil and illustrate its composition pie chart page 50 in book
Page 8 Illustrate map of soil types in the United States page 55 in book
