it is changed to a clay form
sandstone will weather faster because it is softer than granite.
I had the exact same question for one of my exams... I am fairly sure that the answer is: Granite and Limestone are two rocks that can be chemically weathered by natural rainwater. Hope I helped ! Alexx
Corrosion will most likely chemically weather an iron-rich rock.
Marble will weather more quickly. The mineral calcite, of which marble is composed is softer and less resistant to abrasion than granite. It is also more susceptible to chemical weathering via natural and man-caused acidic rainfall due to its chemical composition. Granite--not so susceptible.
Does granite weather when shaken?
No. Granite is very chemically resistant.
yep
it is changed to a clay form
The answer to your question is: Natural acids chemically weather rocks, hope that helped....
No atmosphere-no weather.
Granite is a very strong, hard material. Also, granite is very weather-protected even naturally through its densely packed atoms. If you found this helpful please recommend me!! :)
Granite will weather more slowly, since it is an igneous rock and is extremely resistant to weathering.
Mechanically
sandstone will weather faster because it is softer than granite.
Since granite is an igneous rock this makes it highly resistant to weathering. Therefore, granite will weather more slowly than limestone.
There is no significant weathering from oxygen. However, the particles in the wind (oxygen) can weather a rock.
