What roles does acid precipitation play in the weathering process?
it speeds up the weathering process.
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
What speeds up chemical weathering?
Warm, wet, tropical climates speed chemical weathering of rock.
What is the process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
Weathering breaks up the substance, and erosion causes it to move.
How are humans responsible in causing weathering?
Weathering is a NATURAL process that would occur without humans on the planet. However, human activities, particularly the dumping of acidic gases (Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide made as a byproduct of industry) into the atmosphere causes rainwater to become more acid than it would be if humans were not doing this. This acid rainwater speeds up the rate of weathering, particularly of limestone rocks.
Does hot humid weathering speed up chemical weathering process?
Yes, heat speeds up most processes including chemical weathering. Humidity and moisture likewise contribute to a speeding up of the weathering process.
What two conditions speed up the process of chemical weathering?
hot and wet conditions
Why does weathering speed up the process of erosion?
Weathering breaks up rock into smaller particles which are more easily transported by the agents of erosion (wind, moving water, and moving ice).
Why does chemical weathering proceed slowly in a hot desert?
Chemical weathering requires water to speed it up. Since there is little water in the desert, it is a slow process compared to weathering in more humid areas.
What roles does acid precipitation play in the weathering process?
it speeds up the weathering process.
Artificial selection has been used by humans to?
speed up the process of divergent evoution
What does acid rain have to do with weathering?
Acid rain speeds up the process of weathering!
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
Does physical weathering inhibit chemical weathering?
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
What speeds up chemical weathering?
Warm, wet, tropical climates speed chemical weathering of rock.
How does the size of an expose rock affect it's rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
What is the process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
