Are stalactites a form chemical weathering?
Stalactites are a result of the processes of chemical weathering, not a form of chemical weathering.
Does chemical weathering involve water?
Chemical weathering does not involve water, that is physical weathering
Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
Is oxygen mechanical or chemical weathering?
I Believe it is chemical weathering because oxidation is chemical and involves oxygen and water
Does the rate at which a rock undergoes chemical weathering increase or stay the same when the rock becomes more mechanically weathered why?
The rate will increase due to the increase in surface area available for attack by chemical weathering.
What are the factors that control the rate of chemical weathering and those that control the rate of physical weathering?
Temperature is another significant factor in chemical weathering because it influences the rate at which chemical interactions occur. Chemical reactions rates increase as temperatures increases. With all other factors being equal, the rate of chemical weathering reactions doubles with each 10C increase in temperature.
Does physical weathering increase chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.
Does the increase of carbon dioxide accelerate or slow down the rate of chemical weathering of the earths surface rocks?
The carbon dioxide accelerate the chemical weathering of rocks.
What does temperature have to do with chemical weathering?
An increase in temperature will speed chemical reactions. Therefore, in an environment where all other factors are equal, the environment with the highest temperature will have the most rapid chemical weathering of rock.
As the temperature of an environment increases the rate of chemical weathering of its rocks will most likely?
Increase
What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
How are weathering and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
Are stalactites a form chemical weathering?
Stalactites are a result of the processes of chemical weathering, not a form of chemical weathering.
What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical Weathering .
What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.
Is acid chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
chemical
