Weathering processes,cutaway block artwork. The Sun forms moisture-laden air,brought by winds from over the sea (blue arrow) to forms clouds (upper left) when it hits mountains. These clouds produce rain or snow,forming rivers or glaciers (far left). The rivers run down to the sea,eroding the rocks they run over,and glaciers (blue arrow at left) also move downhill,eroding rocks. The combined actions of wind,water and ice form sediments that are deposited on the sea floor (right) to form new rocks. The geology here is shown as a mixture of sedimentary layers and volcanic (igneous) intrusions (grey) | |
