What is mecanical weathering?
mechanical weathering is acid rain causing pieces of the rock to form together
What type of weathering causes caverns to be formed?
Principally chemical as the limestone is dissolved by carbonic acid (rain-water acidified by absorbed atmospheric CO2). As the cave develops mechanical weathering of its stream-passages may contribute, by abrading the rock with sand carried in the stream.
What type of weathering causes acid rain?
carbonation is an example of chemical weathering carbonation is an example of chemical weathering
Which geologic process occurs when the acid in precipitation dissolves certain types of rock?
Weathering
When rain soaks aways rock below the ground to form caves are called?
Right - rain absorns atmospheric CO2 to become slightly acid. When this water percolates through discontinuities in limestone, the rock is dissolved by this carbonic acid (an example of chemical weathering), and over time the conduits this creates enlarge and coalesce to form caves.
Is a type of weathering where rock is dissolved by acid?
Carbonation
What is chemical weathering when limestone rock is dissolved by natural acids like carbonic acid?
I love Jessa with all my heart
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
One rock that is dissolved by acid?
limestone
What is mecanical weathering?
mechanical weathering is acid rain causing pieces of the rock to form together
The leaching of rock by acid precipitation is a form of?
Chemical Weathering
What type of weathering is there?

How can nature change the rock cycle?
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
What type of weathering causes caverns to be formed?
Principally chemical as the limestone is dissolved by carbonic acid (rain-water acidified by absorbed atmospheric CO2). As the cave develops mechanical weathering of its stream-passages may contribute, by abrading the rock with sand carried in the stream.
Can a rock be dissolved?
Naturally speaking, the rate at which limestone dissolves depends on the amount of rainfall and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the water. Chemical weathering is the process that breaks down rock through chemical changes. The most common agents of chemical weathering include water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and living organisms. Chemical weathering creates holes or soft spots in rock, so the rock breaks apart more easily. Chemical and mechanical weathering often goes hand in hand; mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces, exposing more surface area to chemical weathering. It someone wants to dissolve a rock manually, Hydrofluoric acid is the answer.
Is weathering of rock on the coastline one source of the salt that has been dissolved into the ocean?
Yes that's true.
