WEATHERING: the process by which rocks are BROKEN down by the action of PHYSICAL or CHEMICAL processes. 2 Types of Weathering 1. MECHANICAL weathering:

Landforms. Coastline White-chalk cliffs studded with beech trees form the dramatic coastline of Rugen Island, Germany. Crashing waves from the Baltic.
Now can you explain how these things can be used to help us understand the world better?
