Describe the geological feature itself (what it is, size, etc.). Is it experiencing weathering now, or was it mostly in the past? Do you think it was chemical or physical weathering? Explain how you think the weathering happened.
The size of the object is about the size of a baseball, however not round but with lots of sharp edges. One of the sides is very flat, making me think that it was maybe split at one point in time? I think that the weathering on this rock has been recent, due to how smooth the sides of the rock are as well as that sharp split on that one edge. I think this shows that it is a physical weathering process.
What evidence tells you that weathering has occurred? Estimate how long you think the weathering has been happening.
The big slash on the one side of rock is something that indicated this rock has gone through weathering. It has had something physically happen to it over time. In addition to this, the surface of the rock is very smooth, indicating that is has have a physical weathering over the years.
And, of course, please add anything else that seems interesting to you about the geological feature in your picture(s).
I think it was a cool rock because it was missing a huge piece missing! I do not have a picture of me in it because it was just me at the beach, but I have a picture of the sand and set up of where I found it.
Beach is a great place to find weathering and to hang out.
