Depending on what type of desert, the atmosphere is usually dry, and sometimes windy. In a desert such as the Sahara, the weather is hot and dusty, although cooler at night. In a desert like Antarctica, the weather is extremely cold and windy.
Sand is very abrasive. Weathering in the desert would be the wearing down of rocks.
it is found in a desert
water and snow
there is little chemical weathering to round the landscapes
It would be most common in places like the Sahara Desert, but really it is most common in any desert, where it is hot during the day and cold during the night.
dry areas.that is mainly in desert areas.
The main form of weathering in a desert is decomposition.
No, desert pavement is caused by wind which is physical weathering.
onion skin weathering
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
differential weathering
Chemical weathering lacks an essential component in the desert - water.
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
Chemical weathering requires water to speed it up. Since there is little water in the desert, it is a slow process compared to weathering in more humid areas.
Yes because chemical weathering occurs faster in desert climates. Rocks are us to chemical weathering and temperate climates get it but not as much.
Since it rarely rains in the Atacama, nearly all weathering would be physical weathering caused by the wind.
The greatest agent of erosion is water which is rare in the desert except during the brief rainy season. Therefore, water erosion in the desert is much slower than in areas with more rainfall.
The result of the rust colored tint of desert landscapes are to show chemical weathering. This is shown on a map.
