down into very small particles by various processes such as weathering. There are two types of weathering: Physical Weathering and Chemical Weathering. Physical Weathering arises from the heating and cooling‚ the wetting and drying‚ and the freezing and thawing of the land. These actions cause alternate expansion and contraction of rocks which eventually cause the rocks to crack. Factors which play important role in physical weathering include: * Erosion by wind and water. * The action

They get a big block of it and put it to a grinder. Its atomic number is 58 and its chemical symbol is Ce. The last element I will discuss is neodymium. It is the best known out of the lanthanide series out of rare earths because of the one and only neodymium magnets. They are the strongest magnets in the world and there are many purposes

off it causes chemical reactions that break down rocks. The rainwater dissolves the rocks to form caves and to move rock and soil to other places. By doing this is causes major erosion. Erosion is very bad because it slowly breaks away soil‚ and takes out all the nutrients that plants need to survive. Below is a picture of a rain drain next to a road and is where all the run off from rain goes. Natural actions can affect the Earth’s surface in many ways. Things such as weathering and erosion causes

Physical and Chemical Properties Purpose: The Physical and Chemical Properties lab provides the opportunity to investigate the physical and chemical properties of pure chemical substances and analyze the experiment results. Procedure: In the beginning of the experiment‚ I filled two 24-well plates half way with the given chemicals and sucked up these chemicals into their labeled pipets for later use. Following this‚ I performed a number of steps on each of the four test tubes and recorded observations

Abstract: The objective of Experiment 1 was to observe some chemical changes. While observing the chemical changes in elements I also experimented with household cleaners to see how much chemical properties relate to our daily lives. Chemical changes occur all around me and I go without noticing them all the time without a second thought. This experiment opens my eyes to different chemical reactions occurring around me. This experiment also shows the importance of dilution. If I did not dilute something
