How does carbonic acid cause chemical weathering?
in rain and flooding
Is limestone dissolved by carbonic acid chemical or mechanical?
The dissolution of limestone by rainwater containing carbonic acid is the perfect example of chemical weathering.
What factor does not exert pressure on rocks that lead to physical weathering?
carbonic acid
The single most effective agent of chemical weathering at Earth's surface?
Carbonic Acid
When minerals in the rock react with carbonic acid what chemical weathering process occurs?
Dissolution occurs.
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 does carbonic acid do to quartz?
Carbonic acid in rainfall has virtually no weathering effect on quartz.
Is carbonic acid erosion?
it is chemical weathering
What is an angent of mechanical weathering?
Carbonic acid
How does carbon dioxide in the air weather rocks?
Carbonic acid reacts chemically with limestone, which is observed as weathering. As such, carbonic acid weathering is a chemical, not physical, change.
Is limestone dissolved by carbonic acid a chemical weathering or a mechanical weathering?
This is chemical weathering. Carbonic acid (and often sulphuric acid from SO2) destroy CaCO3 (limestone) through chemical attack.Carbonic acid is formed by reaction of H2O and CO2 to create H2CO3.
Is limestone dissolved by carbonic acid chemical or mechanical?
The dissolution of limestone by rainwater containing carbonic acid is the perfect example of chemical weathering.
Which is required for karst topograghy to form?
carbonic acid
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 is an agent of chemical weathering which combines with water to form a Carbonic acid?
Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere combines with water to form carbonic acid, it is a form of acid rain.
Does Water and carbonic acid play a major role in the chemical weathering of rocks?
Yes, it is correct; for example calcium carbonate react with carbonic acid.
