If by weathered you mean eroded, no. No rock is eroded by wind alone. The particles of sand and grit that are borne by the wind is another matter, and it is this that actually erodes or weathers the rock. So, in short, no. Wind does not weather basalt nor any other sort of rock other than perhaps sedimentary varieties where it picks up grains and particles by which other rocks are eroded.
What else can I help you with?
Sediment is made from pieces of?
Sediment is made from clay, gravel, some organic matter, weathered limestone and basalt.
Is a river delta weathered by ice wind or water?
Water.
How can basalt become part of a sedimentary rock?
Basalt can be weathered and eroded by natural processes, breaking down into sediment particles. These sediment particles can then be transported by water or wind and deposited in a new location where they can accumulate and eventually lithify into a sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation processes.
What makes a slowing wind drop pieces of weathered rock?
Gravity
How is rock without cracks in it weathered?
If it doesn't have cracks in it it can still be weathered. Wind, water, hot, and cold can make the rock chip away.
The moving of weathered rocks and soil by wind water or ice is called?
erosion, which is caused by wind or water
Is deflation when wind lifts off small particles of weathered rocks?
Yes
What is the removal if weathered materials from a location by running water wind ice or waves?
Erosion
What determines how quick a rock is weathered?
Mostly water determines but even wind helps in it.
What is the process of weathered material being moved by wind water or ice?
The creation of energy is weathered material being moved by wind, water, or ice. . This is done by creating energy through kinetic movement. It also happens to be clean energy, due to absence of fossil fuels.
What colour is basalt?
Basalt is typically dark grey to black in color due to its composition of volcanic rock and minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase. However, it can also have shades of green and brown depending on the specific minerals present in the rock.
What is the movement of weathered material?
Weathered material can be moved through various processes such as erosion, transportation by wind, water, or glaciers, or mass wasting events like landslides or rockfalls. These movements contribute to the redistribution of weathered material across the Earth's surface.
