How do prairie dogs mechanically weather rock?
They burrow which is mechanically weathering, because when they burrow they loosen it into sediments physically.
How does both tree roots and prairie dogs mechanically weather rock?
They burrow which is mechanically weathering, because when they burrow they loosen it into sediments physically
Does wind weather rocks mechanically or chemically?
Mechanically
What are at least three processes that mechanically weather rock?
Three processes that mechanically weather rock are frost wedging, exfoliation, and abrasion. Frost wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break. Exfoliation happens when outer layers of rock peel away due to changes in pressure. Abrasion occurs when rock surfaces are worn down by the constant rubbing and grinding of other rock particles transported by wind, water, or ice.
Describe the similarity in the ways tree roots and ice mechanically weather rock?
i dont know, do u? what kind of question is THAT anyways? (get a life, geez)
How tree roots mechanically weather rock?
Tree roots mechanically weather rock by growing into cracks and crevices in the rock. As the roots expand, they exert pressure on the surrounding rock, causing it to break apart. Additionally, roots can secrete acids that can chemically break down the minerals in the rock, further contributing to its weathering.
Does the rate at which a rock under goes chemical weathering increase or stay the same when the rock becomes more mechanically weather why?
The rate of chemical weathering may increase when a rock becomes more mechanically weathered. This is because mechanical weathering can increase the surface area of the rock, providing more opportunities for chemical reactions to occur between the rock and surrounding substances, speeding up the overall weathering process.
What can cause rock to weather?
by wind,rain,ice,chemical actions,plants,etc.
Can igneous rock be destroyed?
Yes, they can be eroded chemically and mechanically.
What agent of weathering can affect a rock both chemically and mechanically?
Hail. when it melts, water can damage the rock.
What are the 3 types of sedimentary?
Mechanically formed sedimentary rock , Chemically formed sedimentary rock and Organically formed sedimentary rock.
How do plants dissolve rock?
Plants can weather rocks by having its roots grow, often squeezing the rock into so many little pieces, it can technically be considered "dissolved".
