INTRODUCTION

This module examines weathering and mass wasting. Topics includephysical weathering, chemical weathering, and mass wasting. While these topics may appear to be disparate, you will learn how they are inherently related.The modules start with four opening topics, or vignettes, which are found in the accompanying Google Earth file. These vignettes introduce basic concepts of the weathering and mass wasting. Some of the vignettes have animations, videos, or short articles that will provide another perspective or visual explanation for the topic at hand.After reading the vignette and associated links, answer the following questions. Please note that some links might take a while to download based on your Internet speed.

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

Figure 1.The geography of weathering (Arbogast 2nd Ed.).

Double-click and selectGLOBAL PERSPECTIVE.

Figure 1 is a graph showing the dominant type of weathering based on annual precipitation and temperature. If a location has a mean annual temperature of 20°C and receives 190cm of precipitation yearly, you can plot these values (as denoted by the star) to see this location’s dominant weathering is strong chemical.

For Questions 5 to 8, type the location information provided into the Searchtab in Google Earth and pressEnter. When you arrive at your destination, use the chart in Figure 1, in conjunction with Google Earth, to answer each question. The mean annual temperature and precipitation are provided respectively, in the parentheses.
