How do chemical weathering processes differ from mechanical weathering processes?
Chemical weathering processes change the mineral composition of the rock, but physical weathering processes do not. Mechanical (physical) weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller particles due to such factors as freezing and thawing, release of pressure, water absorption salt crystal formation, landmass uplift, expansion and contraction from the sun or fire, plant root growth, actions of animals, abrasion, or other means that do not directly affect the rock's chemistry. Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater. Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures.
What rocks from from evaporation of seawater or from other chemical processes?
metamorphic
What mineral is found in sulfur?
Sulfur is a chemical element (S) and doesn't contain any other mineral.
What minerals there in metal?
A metal is a chemical element, any other mineral.
Rocks formed by evaporation of water are called?
They can be called chemical sedimentary rocks, or evaporites; such as rock salt.
Is hydrolysis the same as digestion?
Hydrolysis is one chemical process that accomplishes chemical digestion. There are other chemical and mechanical digestive processes.
Does a mineral always contain a certain material?
Each mineral will have its own chemical composition (with small variations) apart from other minerals.
What does it mean to say that a mineral has a definite chemical composition?
In mineralogy, definite chemical composition refers to a characteristic that a substance must possess to meet the definition of a mineral. It is the narrow parameter of chemical compositions that a substance must have to be described as a particular mineral separate from other minerals.
The transfer of chemical energy from sugar to ATP then to other cell processes is known as?
respiration
What is a defintite chemical composition?
In mineralogy, definite chemical composition refers to a characteristic that a substance must possess to meet the definition of a mineral. It is the narrow parameter of chemical compositions that a substance must have to be described as a particular mineral separate from other minerals.
Is cobalt part of a mineral group?
No. Pure cobalt is not found in nature, only in combination with other elements, and is therefore not considered a mineral, but a chemical element.
How minerals get their colors?
The color is derived from the chemical composition of the mineral, or from staining or inclusions of other minerals.
