What else can I help you with?
Are stalactites a form chemical weathering?
No, stalactites are not a form of chemical weathering. Stalactites are formations that result from the deposition of minerals carried by water dripping from the ceiling of a cave, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical processes like oxidation or dissolution.
What had acid rain to to do with chemical weathering?
The effect of acid rains is a form of chemical weathering.
Is bird poop chemical weathering?
Yes. A form of biochemical weathering.
Is root wedging a form of chemical weathering?
Root wedging is a form of mechanical weathering, not chemical weathering. It occurs when tree roots grow into cracks in rocks, applying pressure that causes the rock to break apart over time. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, such as oxidation or dissolving.
What are the differences between physical and chemical weathering and say what type acid rain is?
Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rocks through chemical reactions. Acid rain is a form of chemical weathering, as it can react with rocks and minerals to degrade them.
Form of weathering that involves chemicals?
I think that is chemical. :)
Would minerals dissolving in water be a form of mechanical or chemical weathering?
Chemical.
Which is a tupe of chemical weathering?
Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering that occurs when minerals in rocks react with water to form new minerals.
How can chemical wethering form a cavern?
Chemical weathering can form a cavern by infiltrating pore spaces in limestone.
The leaching of rock by acid precipitation is a form of?
Chemical Weathering
What two chemical constituents cannot form by chemical weathering of the feldspar minerals?
Quartz and clay minerals cannot form by chemical weathering of feldspar minerals. Quartz is already a stable mineral and does not transform during weathering, while clay minerals originate from the breakdown of feldspar.
What is it called when chemical reactions dissolve the minerals in rock or change them into different minerals?
It's called dissolution, a form of chemical weathering.
