Which family of rock is formed from weathering?
Clastic sedimentary rock is the usual type of rock formed from the products of rock weathering.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What type of weathering process causes underground erosion?
Climate can affect weathering and erosion. The 2 factors include temperature and moisture. Warm climates favor chemical weathering while cold climates favor physical weathering. Dissolving Rock.
What is the type of weathering that involes a chemical change in some of the minerals in a rock?
Chemical weathering
How does the amount surface area affect the rate of weathering?
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
What factors affect the rate weathering?
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
What factors affects the rate of weathering?
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
What are 2 factors that affect the rate of weathering?
The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock and the climate. Rainfall affects the rate of weathering.
Factors that affect rates of weathering (rock type)?
Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Rock type: Minerals that dissolve easily weather faster, softer materials break apart more easily, porous minerals weather more easily.
What are some factors that affect the speed at which weathering occurs?
Type of rock, type of soil, the time it takes, and the climate.
What are the affect of weathering on rock?
The rock will erode and change
How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate of weathering.?
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
What type of chemical weathering is most likely to affect a rock containing calcite?
Dissolution from acidic rainfall.
How does weathering affect a rock after a rock is rounded?
Pinche puta !
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
How does elevation affect the weathering process of a rock?
It doesn't.
After a rock is rounded how does weathering affect it?
it gets smaller
