How do phosphorous and nitrogen move from land into the ocean?
Phosphorus: Chemical weathering and physical weathering are two types of weathering involved in the phosphorus cycle. In chemical weathering, a chemical reaction causes phosphate (A phosphate is a salt of phosphorus acid) rocks to break down and released by lichens can cause chemical weathering. In physical weathering, processes such as wind, rain, and freezing release particles of rock and phosphate into soil. However, most phosphate in run-off settles on lake and ocean bottoms and will not enter the biotic community unless the sediment is disturbed.Nitrogen: Excess nitrate and ammonium that are not taken up by plants mix with rainwater and are washed from the soil into the ground water and streams. This unused nitrogen may settle to ocean, lake, or river bottoms in sediments. Eventually, these sediments will form rock and the nitrogen will not be available. Only after centuries of weathering will the nitrogen be released into the water.
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.
What occurs as the results of a rocks exposure to a chemical?
The answer will depend on what the chemical is! A rock exposed to nitrogen, under normal temperature and pressure will be no different from what it would be otherwise!
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
How does leaching affect chemical weathering?
by dissolving in it
How mechanical weathering can affect the rate of chemical weathering?
I dont know :d !!

How chemical weathering affect rock?
Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
How could climate affect rates of mechanical weathering What about chemical weathering How are the two kinds of weathering related?
You can look it up in Uranus
Does chemical weathering affect rocks more in a temperate climate or in a desert climate?
Yes because chemical weathering occurs faster in desert climates. Rocks are us to chemical weathering and temperate climates get it but not as much.
How the rates of mechanical and chemical weathering might differ in the Congolese rain forest and the Siberian steppes?
The rates of mechanical weathering does not affect anything since the chemical properties remain unchanged. Only chemical weathering affects the chemical properties of an object.

The rates of mechanical weathering does not affect anything since the chemical properties remain unchanged. Only chemical weathering affects the chemical properties of an object.
How does climate affect mechanical and chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in warm, wet climates, and mechanical weathering occurs more in cold climates.
