What are two agents of chemical weathering?
There are so many agents of chemical weathering. The two main agents that cause chemical weathering are acid rain and carbon dioxide.
What type of weathering causes acid rain?
carbonation is an example of chemical weathering carbonation is an example of chemical weathering
How does air in living things cause chemical weathering?
It doesn't. If it is IN a living thing it is not available to cause weathering elsewhere!
What pollutants does transportation cause?
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, acetone, formaldehyde, ...
How does carbonic acid cause chemical weathering?
in rain and flooding
Is carbonic acid in water an example of chemical weathering?
Carbon dioxide dissolved in water is a cause of chemical weathering.
What are two agents of chemical weathering?
There are so many agents of chemical weathering. The two main agents that cause chemical weathering are acid rain and carbon dioxide.
Chemical weathering by water?
Oxidation (The bonding of oxygen to iron in the presence of water) Carbonation (Water + Carbon dioxide --> Carbonic acid) Acid Rain (SO2 or NOx + Water --> Acid Rain) All of the above will cause chemical weathering
What gas is a major cause of chemical weathering?
I believe you're referring to sulfuric acid, which is in acid rain.
What most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
What is most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
What gas causes chemical weathering?
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
What is the most important chemical stimuli leading to increased rate of breath?
An increase in carbon dioxide in the blood is the most important chemical stimulus to cause breathing, even more than oxygen concentration.
Explain how oxygen is connected to chemical weathering?
Both water and carbon dioxide contains an oxygen molecule. Water molecules combines with carbon dioxide when rain falls through the atmosphere. Water that seeps through the ground also picks up carbon dioxide from decaying organic matter.The carbon dioxide dissolved in water forms carbonic acid. This is the weak acid in carbonated soft drinks. Carbonic acid reacts with many common minerals.CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3-
