the rate of weathering is hardness of rock structure of rock and grainsize chemical properties, especially calcium carbonate rainfall (volume and intensity
wind freezing/thawing vegetation (or lack of)
slope (increase slope = increase weathering) salt processes (salt water enters cracks then crystallises, forcing small cracks open like ice does)
What else can I help you with?
How humans change the rate of weathering?
Humans can change the rate of weathering through activities such as mining, construction, and agriculture that disturb the natural environment and expose more rocks to weathering processes. Pollution from human activities can also alter the chemical composition of rainwater, accelerating the weathering of rocks. Additionally, deforestation can lead to increased weathering by removing vegetation that helps regulate temperature and moisture levels.
When does a rock have lower rate of weathering?
A rock will typically have a lower rate of weathering in arid or dry environments where there is little moisture, which limits chemical reactions that break down the rock. Additionally, rocks composed of harder minerals are more resistant to weathering processes and may erode at a slower rate. High altitudes with minimal exposure to rainfall can also slow down the rate of weathering.
What rock would have the fastest rate of weathering in a warm climate?
limestone
What effect would a warmer climate have on the rate of chemical weathering?
A warmer climate would likely increase the rate of chemical weathering because higher temperatures can enhance the reaction rates of minerals with water and acids. This increased chemical weathering could result in faster breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller particles and release of nutrients into the environment.
What determines the rate of weathering?
weathering and erosion
How does the surface affect the rate of weathering?
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
What would its rate of weathering be if a granite be in a cool and dry climate?
Hi people (=^.^=)
How would rate of weathering change?
the rate of weathering is hardness of rock structure of rock and grainsize chemical properties, especially calcium carbonate rainfall (volume and intensity wind freezing/thawing vegetation (or lack of) slope (increase slope = increase weathering) salt processes (salt water enters cracks then crystallises, forcing small cracks open like ice does)
The most of important factors in determining the rate of weathering are what?
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.
Is iron lawn furniture rusting outside mechanical or chemical weathering?
It would be a chemical change.
How is surface related to weathering?
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
What is the rate of weathering if a granite monument is placed outside for 200 years in a cool dry climate?
The rate of weathering if a granite monument is placed outside for 200 years in a cool dry climate would be slow.
