Check Your Understanding

1 We have talked about many forces that act on the surfaces of the earth and change them over time Some are considered to be weathering while others are classified as erosion What is weathering and how is it different from erosion

2 You are walking through the woods and find a large pile of boulders out in the middle of nowhere There are no mountains or other places from which these could fall and there is no obvious explanation As a science student use what you have learned in this exercise and write up a possible explanation of how this rock pile got here

3 When visiting Bryce Canyon National Park you see some formations called Hoodoos These types of formations are common through out the park and look like columns of dirt or stone left standing after all the surrounding material has been removed They almost look like statues or chimneys after a house has burned They are a product of erosion over millions of years Using what we have learned write a possible explanation as to why these towers of stone remain when all of the grounddirtstone that once surrounded them is gone

4 On a walk through a section of Yellowstone National Park you notice that a lot of smaller boulders have cracks in them and some are fractured completely into several smaller rocks What may have caused something as hard as a rock to break
