• metamorphic

lime soil
cly
sandy soil

5 principles of soil forms:

• parent rock material
• topography 
• time climate
• biological activities
• human factors

5 types of weathering

• carbionation
• hyclorysis
• hydration
• exdation
• spheroidal

physical weathering:

• animal & plants
• cristelaization
• temp.
• unloading
• exfoliation

different kinds of erosion

• sheet
• rill
• gully
• over land flow
• abrasion
• corrosion
• hydraulic

weather:
is the mix of events that happen each day in our atmosphere including temp.,rainfall & humanity

in your place on the globe controls the weather   where you live climate is the overage weather pattern in a place over many years.

low clouds.

• nimbo stratus
• cumulus
• stratus

• strata culumus
• stratus
• nimb stratus
• fog

mid clouds

• alto stratus
• alto culumus

high clouds

• cirus stratus
• cirus

wind is formed by high pressure and to a low pressure

sea breeze: wind from sea to land
land breeze: wind from land to sea
anabatic: rise (day)
catabatic: sinks (night)

cold front:
where warm and cold air meats. windy, cold, thunderstorms

thunderstorms:

1. orthographic - caused by air forced up by a mountain hillside.
2. air-mass thunderstorm - localized conviction in unstable air mass
3. frontal thunderstorm - when pressure meats front

• occur along boundaries of fronts eg. cold front
