Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock?
Water is the substance that has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock. Water can seep into cracks in rock, freeze and expand, causing the rock to break apart. Water can also chemically react with minerals in the rock, leading to chemical weathering.
Where on earth might weathering have the least effect?
Weathering might have the least effect in extremely cold and dry environments, such as polar regions like Antarctica. The lack of liquid water and the slow chemical reactions at very low temperatures limit the rate of weathering processes in these areas.
Which type of weathering-mechanical or chemical-you would expect to have a greater effect on a polar region?
In polar regions, chemical weathering typically has a greater effect compared to mechanical weathering. The cold temperatures and minimal vegetation in polar regions slow down mechanical weathering processes like frost wedging. However, chemical weathering, driven by factors such as freeze-thaw cycles and the presence of ice and water, is more prevalent in these harsh environments.
Why is weathering so important to life and land?
Weathering is so important to life and land. This is the main process through which soil is formed making land for cultivation and other activities.
How can you use the word physical weathering in a sentence?
Land near coastal areas can be subject to physical weathering.
What effect will weathering erosion and deposition have in South Texas brush country?
it will ruin the land
How do weathering and erosion affect the future of the earth?
Weathering and erosion will effect the earth's future because land forms will be changed and create new rivers, deltas, etc.
What effect does weathering have on igneous rock?
The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
How does animals effect weathering of land?
nothing at all because today i don't fell like doing anything i just want to lay in my bed
How do weathering and erosion work together?
They obviously work together by weathering the land.
What type of weathering is it when you clear a peace of land for a new building?
physical weathering
What had acid rain to to do with chemical weathering?
The effect of acid rains is a form of chemical weathering.
Why do you need a model to study weathering?
to presicely estimate time and effect of whatever your weathering

What are the effects of weathering rocks?
The general effect of weathering is the creation of smaller and smaller rock particles.
