What is the freezing point on the farhrenheit temperature scale?
If you mean the freezing point of water and what the weather men refer to as freezing, then it is 32 0F.
Why do you think weather is used to refer to the breakdown of rocks?
Because water and air are a form of weather and they both break down rocks.
Is 'frozen weather' or 'freezing weather' correct?
I'm pretty sure it's freezing weather such as "This is freezing weather!" because I don't think that "This weather is frozen!" would work. lol Thanks!
What process causes rocks to crack?
heat and extreme pressure. also water freezing and melting.
Why do rocks have cracks?
Rain and running water can enlarge existing cracks in rocks through its erosive powers. Freezing water in a rock crack will expand, causing additional fracture.
What type of weathering causes rocks to decay?
Wind, water, and freezing all cause rocks to erode or weather.
How do you break a marble?
Water and freezing/cold weather can make rocks break. The water makes the rocks break when it goes into the rock cracks. When the weather gets cold/freezing the water expands and the rock breaks. Or with a really good hammer. LOL:P
How does freezing and melting water weather rocks?
Water erodes rocks by taking away little bits, and water gets into the little pits of a rock, and when it freezes, the water expands and makes the pits/cracks bigger. Over time, this breaks the rocks down.
Which one of the following is a source of chemical weathering a The abrasion of running water b Water freezing in the cracks of exposed rocks?
b. water freezing in the cracks of exposed rocks
How does thawing and freezing of water cause weather?
by the coldness of freezing and the warmness of thawing
Does water break down rocks?
Water can chemically weather rocks by dissolving minerals, water can also physically weather rocks by fracturing them by hydraulic pressure or frost wedging.
How does freezing water affect the weathering of rocks on a mountain's pinnacle?
Freezing water can affect the weathering of rocks on a mountain's pinnacle because the frozen water will expand within the cracks of the rocks of the mountain's pinnacle. The ice accumulations will also grow larger which will also affect the weathering of the rocks.
How does water break down?
Water can chemically weather rocks by dissolving minerals, water can also physically weather rocks by fracturing them by hydraulic pressure or frost wedging.
What is the freezing point on the farhrenheit temperature scale?
If you mean the freezing point of water and what the weather men refer to as freezing, then it is 32 0F.
How does matter in rocks change to matter in water?
Water can dissolve some of the matter found in rocks. Also, through the alternating processes of freezing and melting, water can cause pieces of rocks to fall into it.
What type of rocks are damaged by freezing?
Any rocks can be "damaged" by freezing
How does weather and water erode rocks?
By doing erosion
