Clastic material, also called detritus or detrital material, may be fine grains of individual minerals, or it may be lithic fragments (rock fragments) composed of multiple minerals. We sometimes call these minerals the residual minerals, or the resistate, because the minerals resisted weathering.

It is influenced by temperature, the chemistry of air and water, organisms, and numerous other factors.

Here you will investigate the processes that mobilize earth materials and the surface changes that result from weathering, erosion, and mass movement. Compare and contrast chemical and physical weathering. Explain how mass movement occurs and the landform features created by it. Explain how splash, sheet, rill and gully erosion occurs.

While creating these secondary minerals, weathering also produces dissolved cations (especially alkalis and alkali earths) and anions, which may have a significant impact on water chemistry and quality.
