The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes and nbsp?
what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
Why can heating and cooling lead to weathering?
things expand when heated and contract when cooled. This seasaw action creates cracks and weakness in structures/landforms and causes weathering.
What causes all types of rocks to be exposed to weathering and erosion?
Uplift caused by tectonic movement
They contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
A type of chemical weathering in which minerals react with dissolved oxygen in water is known as?
Physical weathering is a type of weathering in which minerals react with dissolved oxygen in water. This causes chemical changes to take place in the minerals.
What type of weathering causes exfoliation?
Exfoliation is primarily caused by physical weathering processes such as thermal expansion and contraction, where daily and seasonal temperature changes cause rocks to expand and contract, leading to the outer layers of rock peeling off in sheets. This process is especially common in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations like deserts.
Is frost heaving a type of mechanical weathering?
Yes, a second way freezing water causes mechanical weathering is by frost heaving
What are causes of weathering called?
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.
What are two causes of physical weathering?
Gravity and water are two causes of physical weathering.
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What substance causes weathering?
"Weathering" is primarily caused by water.
What type of weathering is water?
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
What type of weathering causes root wedging?
Biological hydraulic weathering.
What type of weathering causes a face to form on a cliff?
Chemical weathering causes a face to form on a cliff.
Which type of weathering causes the mineral composition of rocks to change?
mechanical weathering
Which type of weathering causes the mineral composition of rock to change?
mechanical weathering
