What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.
Can limestone be worn away?
Yes. Limestone is susceptible to chemical and mechanical weathering and erosion.
What is called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition?
Mechanical weathering.
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a materials size or shape is changed?
Yes. Physical weathering is erosion caused by wind, dust, rain, flowing water, collapses, impacts, freezing/thawing, or glaciers.
Is erosion chemical weathering?
No. Erosion usually involves the transportation of material from one place to another place. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of natural Earth materials with acidic fluids, causing dissolution.
What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.
How is weathering different than erosion?
weathering is part of erosion there are two types of erosion mechanical and chemical. chemical refers to elements such as oxygen and Iron which cause a chemical change such as rust and oxidation mechanical weathering is when rocks or materials are separated by water mass movement etc
What can be mechanical or chemical erosion and weathering?
the answer is maybe a mechanical is the time where u run but the chemical is when you see not the tie so the right answer is the mechanical the time
What are 2 ways that rocks are broken down into smaller pieces?
weathering and erosion!! if I'm right comment yes , even though i am RIGHT!
How can nature change the rock cycle?
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
Can limestone be worn away?
Yes. Limestone is susceptible to chemical and mechanical weathering and erosion.
What is called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition?
Mechanical weathering.
What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
Different factors that affect the shape of the Earth?
1. WEATHERING a. physical weathering/mechanical weathering b. chemical weathering 2. EROSION a. erosion by water b. erosion by wind c. erosion by ice/glaciers 3. MASS MOVEMENT a. landslide b. mudslide 4. TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT
How does climate effect mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering refers to weathering that causes physical erosion of exposed rock without changing its chemical composition. Climate helps promote or prevent things like frost and wind that create this form of weathering.
Which is one type of mechanical weathering?
Erosion
Is erosion mechanical or chemical?
Erosion is a mechanical process.
