Why does frost wedging weathers rocks?
Frost wedging weathers rocks because water expands when it freezes, causing cracks to widen and break apart the rock over time. As water seeps into cracks in the rock and freezes, the growing ice crystals create stress and pressure that eventually breaks the rock apart.
Classify freezing or thawing oxidation water dissolving chemicals in rock abrasion acid rain?
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
Does the increasing of water temperature effect the dissolving of rock salt?
Yes, increasing water temperature can speed up the dissolving process of rock salt in water. This is because higher temperatures typically increase the kinetic energy of water molecules, allowing them to interact more effectively with the salt particles and break them down more quickly.
What is carbonic acid abd how does it effect chemical weathering process?
Carbonic acid is an acid formed by diluting co2 in water. It weathers calcite minerals by reaction with them (Lime stone)
The minerals that make up a rock determine how fast it weathers?
The minerals that make up a rock determine how fast it weathers to a large extent. This is mainly true when it comes to chemical weathering.
Does water weather rock by gradually dissolving it?
Yes, its true.
Can water weather rock by gradually dissolving it?
Yes, if the water is acidic(acid rain)
Dissolving a rock in acid is the equivalent of?
Dissolving a rock in acid is a chemical reaction that breaks down the mineral components of the rock into their individual ions or molecules. This process is similar to erosion in nature, where rocks are gradually broken down by natural elements like water and wind over time.
What is the effect of water freezes in the cracks in rock?
The rock cracks and weathers.
What gas is a major cause of chemical weathering?
I believe you're referring to sulfuric acid, which is in acid rain.
What is the examples of not dissolving in hot water?
wood,rock
How weathers chemically weathers rock?
Oxygen in the air and acids.
How do you use the word dissolving in a sentence?
The soap dissolved in the water. you are welcome ;)

What type of rock weathers the fastest?
Sedimentary rock weathers the fastest and easiest
What is the name o the natural process that weathers rock using wind water or ice?
chemicals and wether
