UntitledNo chemical change in the rock
Big rock > Little rock
water freezes expanding about 10%
exfoliation
+ 4SiO2 Potassium Feldspar Carbonic Acid Water Potassium Ion Bicarbonate Silica
Solution Clay Mineral
warm temperatures and abundant moisture
Cements Sediments
Glue for Sedimentary Rocks
Sand

What is moved? How it moves? How fast it moves?
11
Silt 20% Clay 15 %
Creep

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing for more than a century. Should this increase tend to accelerate or slow down the rate of chemical weathering of Earth's surface rocks? What exactly is the link between chemical weathering and carbon dioxide?
Describe some possible sources of this increasing level of carbon dioxide.
