Factors Description
Due to tectonic forces, granite may rise to form mountain range. After the granite ascends and cools, the
overlying rocks and sediments may erode. At the point when the pressure diminishes, the rock expands, cools,
and became brittle and fractured.
Rocks expand and are fractured when expose to high tem`perature. However, if the temperature drops to 0°C
(freezing point of water), it also expands and causes fracture.
Generally, rocks have fracture in its surface and when water accumulates in the crack and at that point freezes,
the ice expands and breaks the rock apart.
The breakdown of rocks is caused by impact and friction. This primarily occurs during collision of rocks, sand,
and silt due to current or waves along a stream or seashore causing sharp edges and corners to wear off and
become rounded.
The roots grow causing penetration into the crack, expand, and in the long run, break the rock.
Activities such as digging, quarrying, denuding forests and cultivating land contribute to physical weathering.
Animals like rats, rabbits and squirrels excavate into the ground to create a space for habitation.
It occurs in specific minerals which are dissolved in water. Examples of these minerals are Halite (NaCl) and
Calcite (CaCO3). The formation of stalactites and stalagmites in caves are brought about by this chemical
reaction.
Rock-forming minerals like amphibole, pyroxene, and feldspar react with water and form different kinds of
clay minerals.
It is the response of oxygen with minerals. If the iron oxidizes, the mineral in rocks decomposes. Rusting is an
example of this chemical reaction.

ACTIVITY B
I. Write TRUE if you think the statement is correct and write FALSE if otherwise.
1. Exogenous processes take place under the Earth’s surface while Endogenous processes takes place on the surface of the
Earth.
2. Lithification is the process involved in the formation of magma.
