What else can I help you with?
What is the weather like in the savanna?
it is weathered by rain and ice wedging i think but i would like the weather.
What is weathered surface?
A weathered surface refers to a surface that has been altered or worn down by exposure to natural elements such as rain, wind, and sunlight over time. This process can lead to changes in the appearance and structure of the surface, often resulting in a weathered or aged look.
What occurs when rain soaks away rock below the ground to form caves?
mechanical weathering +++ I'd class it as chemical weathering because the action is dissolution by weakly-acid, and it works only in limestone, gypsum and dolomite - although dolomite deposits are not normally structurally disposed to cave development.
Why do cliffs get weathered?
Cliffs can get weathered because of all the rain on them and they can crumbled also they can be eroded by weather and the sea because if there is a lot of strong waves it can wear away the cliff face and it can crumble making it dangerous in some places
Describe local and global effects of volcanic eruptions?
The local and global effects of volcanic eruptions include toxic ash 'rain', that pollutes streams, rivers, and chemically alters ground water sources as well as soil.
Which is best at weathering rocks?
Most surface rock is weathered by water. Naturally acidic rain and groundwater can react chemically with rock, causing dissolution and oxidation. Freezing water can also act on the rock mechanically, forcing open gaps and faults for further weathering attack by liquid water.
Agents of erosion and their respective weathered paricles?
ice, snow, wind, animals, rain, water and people.
What is pyrite weathered by?
Pyrite is weathered by both exposure to sunlight and to rain or temperature variations. The mineral is relatively easily weathered.
What weathers rocks?
Rocks can be weathered by the wind or rain, or if water gets in some of the cracks, it would break apart
What is it about the rock of most caves that make it so easily carved out by water and rain fall?
Their rock is made up of very fragile sediments, making it easier to be weathered by rain and wind.
How is limestone weathered?
Limestone is weathered by mechanical and chemical means:Mechanical: plant root growth in cracks and crevices, frost wedging, rock falls, abrasion.Chemical: exposure to fluids containing acids--particularly rainwater and flowing runoff that is naturally acidic--that chemically react with the calcium carbonate in the limestone, dissolving it.
How can you stop acid rain damaging buildings?
Build in dolomite as Henry VI did in 1446 when he rebuilt the Eton College chapel. Dolomite is a double carbonate of Magnesium and Calcium and resists acid rain incredibly effectively. Indeed dolomite ages to a brilliant white and shines like satin after rain. A prescient plan for a Plantagenet building a church next to the M4, A4, Great Western Railway and Heathrow!
Is it true All rocks can be weathered by acid rain?
Yes, mainly, they will rust
Is rain evaporation physical or chemical?
Physical change from liquid to vapour. The water remains chemically the same whether liquid or vapour.
What can cause chemical weathering of rocks?
water, air, chemicals, ect Acid rain contains sulfuric acid that can chemically weather rocks.
Can you show one sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly affected by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Acid rain can dissolve the calcium carbonate in limestone, leading to erosion and weathering of the rock. As a result, limestone formations such as caves and cliffs can be significantly impacted by acid rain over time.
Why weathering occurs more quickly in tropical rain forest?
Rain forests have a giant amount of rainfall, a source of weathering. Therefor, the rain forests are constantly being weathered.
