Under most weathering conditions which mineral in granites and rhyolites would be most resistant to decomposition?
Quartz, by a long shot. Then orthoclase, muscovite, biotite, in that order
In what type of weathering does salt wedging occur?
mechanical weathering
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
What type of weathering causes root wedging?
Biological hydraulic weathering.
Is decomposition a type of chemical reaction?
Yes, decomposition is a type of chemical reaction. This chemical reaction breaks down a compound into its individual elements.
What type of weathering involves the decomposition of rock as minerals react with substances such as oxgenwater and acids?
Hydrolisis,freeze-thaw, chemical weathering, wetting and drying, etc
What are the main form of weathering taking place in the desert?
The main form of weathering in a desert is decomposition.
What decreases the chance that evidence of life will be left when something dies?
Scavenges
The decomposition of rock from exposure to water and atmospheric gases is known as?
Chemical Weathering
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.
What is the main type of weather in in the desert?
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
What decreases the chance that the evidence of lige will be left ehen something dies?
Quick decomposition
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What does it mean when they say Weathering is the Decomposition of rock and soil?
What it means is that weathering is when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces or sediments by the actions of water, ice, organisms, or other things.
Contrast weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near the surface of the Earth. Erosion is the transportation of material by water, wind, or ice. Simplistically, weathering is the breakdown of rocks and erosion is the carrying away of the broken down fragments.
Is a type of physical weathering.?
Frost wedging
What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical Weathering .
