Weathering- Chemical, Mechanical and Mass Movement

Four PPTs on weathering...

1. An introduction to denudation and weathering as one process of denudation

2. A PPT on mechanical weathering (freeze-thaw action) including a simple animation, easy to copy diagrams and photos

3. A PPT on chemical weathering (carbonation) with detail on surface and underground features of carbonation using The Burren (Ireland) as a case study. Includes a link to a YouTube video on the Burren and lots of coloured diagrams

4. Final PPT is on Mass Movement. Discusses landslides, mudflows and soil creep. Has two links to YouTube clips which show landslides and lahars occurring

Each PPT is well laid-out and easy to follow. Key terms are highlighted/underlined. There are some 'to-do'/'homework' slides which direct the students to the text book/workbook I use (Geoplanet by EDCO) but these slides can be adapted to suit your own class/books.
