What factors affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
Which area on the earth is likely to have the highest rates of weathering both mechanical and chemical?
Tropical areas experience the highest rate of mechanical and chemical weathering of rock.
How does mechanical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is when chemicals such as chemicals excreted from plants wear away at the earth's surface. Mechanical weathering is when natural forces wear away at the earth's surface such as rock.
Does the rate of chemical weathering increase or stay the same when a rock becomes more mechanical weathered?
The rate of chemical weathering increases when a rock becomes more mechanically weathered, also called abrasion.
Factors that affect rates of weathering (climate)?
Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Climate: is the single, most important factor that affects the rate of weathering. Chemical reactions occurs faster at higher temperatures, Warm climates favor chemical weathering, cold climates favor mechanical weathering(principally freezing and thawing), more moisture, or precipitation present, the more noticeable weathering.
How does the amount surface area affect the rate of weathering?
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
How do cracks affect weathering rates of rocks?
How do cracks affect the rate of weathering
What factors affect the rate weathering?
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
How does the surface affect the rate of weathering?
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
How is surface related to weathering?
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
What are the factors that control the rate of chemical weathering and those that control the rate of physical weathering?
Temperature is another significant factor in chemical weathering because it influences the rate at which chemical interactions occur. Chemical reactions rates increase as temperatures increases. With all other factors being equal, the rate of chemical weathering reactions doubles with each 10C increase in temperature.
