Chemicals react with rocks and minerals or dissolve rocks and minerals.
Is chemicals from plants chemical weathering or physical weathering
Unloading is the process in which overlying pressure on rocks is reduced, leading to expansion and cracking of the rocks. This can contribute to weathering by causing the outer layers of rocks to break off due to the release of pressure, exposing fresh surfaces to weathering agents like water and chemicals, accelerating the breakdown of the rocks.
Chemicals from plants can contribute to chemical weathering through processes like root exudation, where plant roots release substances that can break down minerals in rocks. Physical weathering, however, involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks without changes in chemical composition and is more likely due to factors like temperature changes and weathering.
the atmostphere
Chemical reactions do not contribute to physical weathering. Physical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without any change in their chemical composition.
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
I think that is chemical. :)
both chemical and biological weathering
They Don't
Humans can contribute to rock weathering through activities like mining, excavation, construction, and use of heavy machinery. These activities can break down rocks mechanically or chemically, leading to accelerated weathering processes. Additionally, pollution from human activities can introduce chemicals that can cause rocks to weather more rapidly.
true
Yes, humans contribute to weathering through activities such as mining, construction, and deforestation, which can accelerate the process of physical and chemical weathering. Additionally, pollution from human activities can lead to acid rain, which can further enhance chemical weathering.
