It is often important to determine cause and effect relationships between observed phenomena to better understand the natural processes at work in our environment. Causation is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the first event is considered responsible for the second. Determine whether each of the scenarios listed below is a cause of sea level rise, an effect of sea level rise, or is not at all related to sea level rise. Drag the appropriate items into their respective bins.
1. more frequent coastal flooding
2. hotter temperatures
3. increases in coastal erosion
4. melting glacial ice
5. thermal expansion of sea water
6. depletion of the ozone layer
Cause of sea level rise Effect of sea level rise Not related to sea level rise

Say whether each of the following statements relates to the influence on weathering by rock composition, rock properties, or climate. 1.exposed rock in the mountains of alaska 2.a lack of fractures in an outcrop3.quartz is rarely affected by dissolution, hydrolysis, or oxidation4.high porosity (a large amount of space between grains in a rock)5.rocks on the coast of a tropical island6.minerals that dissolve in the presence of waterthe good earth/chapter 9: weathering and soils weathering ratesthe good earth/chapter 9: weathering and soilscompositional control1.weathering is faster in rocks composed of weaker material or material that is easily converted to weaker material (such as feldspars)2.weathering is faster in rocks made up of minerals that dissolve in water (salt, gypsum)3.weathering is slower in rocks made of resistant materials (quartz)rock property control1.weathering is faster in rocks that allow air and water in (porous, fractured)2.fractures are natural weathering surfaces3.igneous and metamorphic rocks generally have low porosity –do you think they are particularly susceptible to weathering
