What process does igneous rock have to go through to be formed into sediment?
The igneous rock must be exposed to weathering, whether it be chemical weathering, or mechanical weathering.
What causes mechanical weathering by blowing sand and exposed rock?
Acid rain that comes from pollution can damage exposed rocks over time.
What does mechanical weathering of rock mean?
any of the various weathering processes that cause physical disintegration of exposed rock without any change in the chemical composition of the rock
What is the relationship between surface area and weathering rate?
The rate of weathering also depends on the surface area that is exposed. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces. As the pieces get smaller, their surface area increases. When this happens, there is more total surface area available for chemical weathering. The result is that weathering has more of an effort on smaller particles.
Does mechanical weathering add the effectiveness of chemical weathering?
it will be influenced, because chemical happens in warm wet area, while are only happens in cold areas :) :) :) :) ONLY A DIRECTIONER WILL IMPROVE IT FOR PUTTING DIRECTIONER FOREVER AND PAULWAYS :) :) :) :) ~Alexia Escutia
What causes mechanical weathering by blowing sand against exposed rock?
wind
What causes mechanical weathering to blow sand against exposed rock?
Wind

How does climate effect mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering refers to weathering that causes physical erosion of exposed rock without changing its chemical composition. Climate helps promote or prevent things like frost and wind that create this form of weathering.

What it is weathering?
weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smaller particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering

What is a way plant growth causes mechanical weathering?
the plant roots move the dirt around revealing new rocks underneath the soil, which then are exposed to erosion.
