How can erosion cause weathering?
Erosion can cause weathering by wearing down rocks and transporting particles, exposing them to different environmental conditions. This exposes the rocks to more physical and chemical processes that contribute to their breakdown and eventual disintegration, leading to weathering.
Do glaciers cause chemical weathering when they scrape rocks?
Yes, glaciers can cause chemical weathering when they scrape rocks by exposing new surfaces to chemical reactions with water and air. The mechanical action of the glacier can also break down minerals within the rocks, allowing for chemical weathering to occur more easily.
How do glaciers impact weathering?
Glaciers impact weathering by grinding rock surfaces as they move, a process known as abrasion. This can break down rocks into smaller pieces, accelerating the weathering process. Additionally, as glaciers melt, they release large amounts of sediment that can further weather surrounding rocks.
Glaciers are agents of weathering?
not just glaiciers, but all ice, (including glaiciers) are agents of weathering.
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.

How do glaciers cause weathering?
ANSWER:A glacier is nothing more than a frozen river still moving. It might only move an inch or two per year, but it still moves and this ice will erode the ground and rock below it faster and more agressively than if it was just water. Its because glaciers also pick up and move the rocks that they run over and this gravel (chunks of rocks) can carve mountains down and cut valleys miles deep.
What are the cause and effect of the weathering and erosion?
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller fragments, while erosion transports these fragments to another location. Weathering is caused by factors like temperature changes and water, while erosion is mainly caused by factors such as wind, water, and glaciers. Together, weathering and erosion shape the Earth's surface over time.
