Which type of rock is not attacked by acid rain?
marble
What rock is not affected by acid rain?
granite and gabbro
How does rock abrasion occur?
by erosion and acid rain?
Acid rain causes what type of change in a rock?
Dissolution.
Which rock would be most affected by acid rain?
Rocks containing carbonate (CO2) are highly affected by acid rain. Limestone (CaCO2) is a very common carbonate rock.
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
What does Acid rain cause in rock?
If the rock is a limestone it will react with it chemically.
How can acid rain cause erosion?
The harmful gases produced from use rise and produce acid rain, the rain then falls. When the acid rain touches the rock it starts to break down the molecules in the rock, causing cracks to appear, leading to bits falling of. This called eroding of the rock.
Is rain and acid a rock chemical?
An acid rain contain acids as HNO3, H2SO4, HCl.
How does acid precipitation cause rocks to weathering faster?
Because it causes them to move, and so they weather that way. Buut the acid rain can leak into the rock and slowly break down the atoms, causing it to chemically weather faster. Also, just regular water/rain can wash away some covering sediment
What type of rock is affected by acid rain?
limescale
What rock is not affected by acid rain?
granite and gabbro
Which type of rock is not attacked by acid rain?
marble
How does rock abrasion occur?
by erosion and acid rain?
What rock will buffer the effects of acid rain?
Limestone.
What are the effect on acid rain?
Melting of rock or erosion
How does acid rain damage rock or stone?
the acid rain goes in between the rocks and brakes it in little bites or in half
