Which area on the earth is likely to have the highest rates of weathering both mechanical and chemical?
Tropical areas experience the highest rate of mechanical and chemical weathering of rock.
In which areas chemical weathering is slow?
Chemical weathering is slowest in cold, arid regions.
Chemical weathering happens more slowly in what areas?
dry areas.that is mainly in desert areas.
What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
When large areas of continents are covered by ice what happens to the rate of chemical weathering?
they freeze to death
Which area on the earth is likely to have the highest rates of weathering both mechanical and chemical?
Tropical areas experience the highest rate of mechanical and chemical weathering of rock.
Which two months had the highest rated of chemical weathering?
which two months had the highest rates of chemical weathering
In which areas chemical weathering is slow?
Chemical weathering is slowest in cold, arid regions.
Which areas are affected by chemical weathering?
coastal areas
Why does June and July have the highest rate of chemical weathering?
It has the highest rate of chemical weathering because chemical weathering occurs much faster in hot, humid climates. This makes rain forests a target for chemical weathering, and in hot seasons, the weathering skyrockets.
Do areas with little rain have more chemical weathering?
No.
Why chemical weathering would not be rapid in antarctica?
Because it's cold and dry and chemical weathering usually happens in warm and wet areas like the tropical areas
Which two months had the highest rates chemical weathering?
June and July
Why do deserts experience less chemical weathering than other areas?
Chemical weathering needs moisture and deserts generally lack this ingredient.
Chemical weathering happens more slowly in what areas?
dry areas.that is mainly in desert areas.
What does temperature have to do with chemical weathering?
An increase in temperature will speed chemical reactions. Therefore, in an environment where all other factors are equal, the environment with the highest temperature will have the most rapid chemical weathering of rock.
Why does chemical weathering proceed slowly in a hot desert?
Chemical weathering requires water to speed it up. Since there is little water in the desert, it is a slow process compared to weathering in more humid areas.
