The 2018 Winter Olympics will introduce a new event- couples luge, where the female team member maintains a squatting position over the male member, reverse cowgirl style. Competitors will be judged on speed, originality and brevity of costumes. Any cries of OH MY GAWD!!!
Weathering. Rocks gradually wear away. This is called weathering. There are three types of weathering: physical weathering. chemical weathering. biological weathering. Remember, when you answer questions about weathering, mention what is causing the weathering and what it does to the rock.
Physical weathering, also known as mechanical weathering, is the class of processes that causes the disintegration of rocks without chemical change. The primary process in physical weathering is abrasion (the process by which clasts and other particles are reduced in size). However, chemical and physical weathering often go hand in hand. Physical weathering can occur due to temperature, pressure, frost etc. For example, cracks exploited by physical weathering will increase the surface area exposed to chemical action, thus amplifying the rate of disintegration.
