Weathering Concept Map: Key Branches
A concept map about weathering shows how rocks break down at Earth's surface. Weathering is the process that breaks rock into smaller pieces, and it is usually divided into physical, chemical and biological types. Each type links to causes, agents and results, which makes a map a useful study tool.
- Physical weathering: rock breaks by freezing, thawing, abrasion or pressure release
- Chemical weathering: minerals change through oxidation, hydrolysis, dissolution or carbonation
- Biological weathering: roots, lichens and burrowing animals break rock apart
- Agents: water, ice, wind, temperature changes and living organisms
- Results: soil formation, sediment, and landforms such as caves and canyons
Use the map to revise the difference between physical and chemical weathering, then add your own examples. CogniGuide can build a personalized weathering map from your notes so the structure matches your course.

Weathering Concept Map Questions
Answers about weathering and about making your own map.
What is the difference between physical and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces without changing its mineral makeup. Chemical weathering changes the minerals themselves, for example when water and acids dissolve limestone or oxygen rusts iron-rich rock.
What are the main agents of weathering?
The main agents are water, ice, wind, temperature change, gravity and living organisms. Each agent drives a different process, so mapping agents alongside processes helps you remember them.
Which file types can I use to make my weathering map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also type the topic and let the AI build the map from scratch.
Can I turn my weathering map into a quiz for free?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 creations a week with no payment needed. You can export the map and turn it into a quiz to test yourself on the weathering types.
