Which of the following is not exogenic in nature?
Batholith formation
If Earth did not experience endogenic processes, the landscape would

Which of the following weathering types is primarily found in arid environments?
Salt crystal growth
Karst topography and limestone regions occur on every continent on Earth. T/F
True
An example of chemical weathering is
karst topography.
The rate at which rocks weather depends upon
vegetation, climate and type of rock.
Physical weathering dominates in warm, wet climates. T/F
False
Which of the following weathering processes does not involve water?
Pressure-release jointing
Karst topography is formed primarily by
carbonation and solution.
Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of
higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures.
Other than itself, the most important chemical substances need for the majority of weathering processes is
water.
