What it is weathering?
weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smaller particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering
Are both weathering and erosion a form of tectonic forces?
No. Tectonic forces are from within the earth. Weathering and erosion come from the atmosphere.
Why limestone is susceptible to chemical weathering?
One reason why limestone is susceptible to chemical weathering because when acid acts on the calcium carbonate in the limestone to form calcium bicarbonate which is dissolved by water, which results in pits and holes found in the limestone. Equations to represent: CaCO3 + H2O + CO2 results in Ca(HCO3)2
What air surrounding a planet?
Atmosphere, but can be composed of different elements.
How physical weathering begins?
Physical weathering begins the moment a rock body is uplifted and fractured, or exposed to the atmosphere, along with it's differences in temperature, sunlight, and water.
What is the meaning of weathering?

There is little to no weathering on Mars due to the very small amount of atmosphere Mars has. Although there is evidence that there may have been weathering there in the past.
What landforms are created by weathering?
Landforms created by weathering are those in which rocks and sediments are disintegrated and decomposed. Weathering is a process that is necessary to the biosphere and atmosphere.
What are six forces that bring about the weathering of rock?
the six kinds of weathering is mechanical,chemical,physical,andspheroidal this are the six kinds of weathering
Does weathering of rocks ever stop?
It will continue as long as there is an atmosphere.
What is less on the moon than on the earth?

What is the principal source of dissolved substance in ocean?
Chemical weathering of rocks on the continents is one source of elements found in seawater. The second major source of elements found in seawater is from earth's interior. Through volcanic eruptions, large quantities of water vapor and other gases have been emitted into the atmosphere.
