Does chemical weathering involve water?
Chemical weathering does not involve water, that is physical weathering
Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
Is oxygen mechanical or chemical weathering?
I Believe it is chemical weathering because oxidation is chemical and involves oxygen and water
What occurs as the results of a rocks exposure to a chemical?
The answer will depend on what the chemical is! A rock exposed to nitrogen, under normal temperature and pressure will be no different from what it would be otherwise!
In what locations would you expect to find chemical weathering instead of mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering is prevalent in tropical climates.
Is iron lawn furniture rusting outside mechanical or chemical weathering?

What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
What type of change would slow the chemical weathering of the soil?
Ice wedging would help slow chemical weathering and make the soil more fertile.
How are weathering and chemical weathering related?
