Lots of rain, wind, freeze/thaw cycles.
Hot, humid climates with high rainfall promote chemical weathering.

∙ 12y agoRainwater is slightly acidic (carbonic acid) because carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is dissolved in the water as it falls from the clouds Some rocks are alkaline, like the calcium carbonate that make up lime stone is dissolved. Gradually these cracks become deeper (grikes) forming a limestone pavement

Why does chemical weathering accure more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
What type of climate does the greatest amount of chemical weathering of rock occur?
Hot, wet, tropical climates are most conducive to chemical weathering.
Chemical weathering will occur most rapidly when rocks are exposed to the?
Chemical weathering happens quickly in environments with warm temperatures, lot's of rainfall, and lush vegetation. These conditions produce thick soils that are rich in organic matter. When the carbon dioxide formed from the organic matter mixes with rainwater, it forms carbonic acid, which is a big factor in chemical weathering. In which could take place in tropical rainforests.
What type of weathering occurs when reactions dissolve the minerals in rock?
We apply the term chemical weathering to the (chemical) reactions that occur and dissolve minerals in rock.
In type of climate does chemical weathering occur fastest?
plant roorts
Why does chemical weathering accure more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
Does chemical weathering of soil occur most rapidly in regions which are warm and?
Wet. Hot and wet climates allow for the fastest weathering.
What type of climate does the greatest amount of chemical weathering of rock occur?
Hot, wet, tropical climates are most conducive to chemical weathering.
What can occur during a chemical reactions?
Weathering can be mechanical or chemical.
How does physical weathering make the job easier for chemical weathering?
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
What are the chemical of weathering?
it harms the environment. temperature changes and climate changes occur because of chemical weathering.
What type of weathering does not happen in the desert?
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
Chemical weathering will occur most rapidly when rocks are exposed to the?

When the carbon dioxide formed from the organic matter mixes with rainwater, it forms carbonic acid, which is a big factor in chemical weathering. In which could take place in tropical rainforests.
What is weathering by acid rain?
Acidic rain causes chemical weathering to occur. Dissolution in particular.
What is acid rain weathering?
Acidic rain causes chemical weathering to occur. Dissolution in particular.
When does weathering occur most?
Chemical weathering in the warm, wet season and mechanical weathering in the cool, dry season.
Can you give me some notes about weathering?
There are two types of weathering: chemical and physical. Chemical weathering is said to occur when the chemical compounds of rocks are changed. Physical weathering happens due to wind, rain, or other natural occurrences.
