oxidation the loose covering of broken rock pieces and decaying organic matter overlying the surface
chemical weathering the repeated thawing and freezing of water in the cracks of rocks
soil a vertical sequence of soil layers
soil profile the process by which rocks and minerals change in their composition as the result of chemical reactions
transported soil the chemical reaction of oxygen with other substances
water erosion soil that has been moved to a location away from its parent bedrock
frost wedging the reaction of water with other substances

Explanation:

Oxidation is the chemical reaction of oxygen with other substances. Chemical weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals change in their composition as the result of chemical reactions. Soil is the loose covering of broken rock particles and decaying organic matter overlying the Earth's surface. A soil profile is a vertical sequence of soil layers. Transported soil is soil that has been moved to a location away from its parent bedrock. Water erosion is the reaction of water with other substances. Frost wedging is the repeated thawing and freezing of water in the cracks of rocks.
