Is chemical weathering faster along the Amazon river than the Himalayas?

Yes that would make sense as there is a great deal of vegetation along the Amazon as opposed to any place in the Himalaya's. and plants are responsible for creating many of the chemicals that result in chemical weathering.

Chemical weathering is probably faster along the Amazon River then in the Himalayas true or false?
TRUE!
Why does chemical weathering occur faster in a hot climate?
chemical weathering occurs faster in a hot climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
Why is chemical weathering faster in the tropics?
Because chemical reactions happen quicker in an increases temperature. So the more chemical reactions, the more chemical weathering
Does chemical weathering affect rocks more in a temperate climate or in a desert climate?
Yes because chemical weathering occurs faster in desert climates. Rocks are us to chemical weathering and temperate climates get it but not as much.
Is it true what does chemical weathering occurs faster in a wet climate?
fluid
Does physical weathering increase chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.
Why does June and July have the highest rate of chemical weathering?
It has the highest rate of chemical weathering because chemical weathering occurs much faster in hot, humid climates. This makes rain forests a target for chemical weathering, and in hot seasons, the weathering skyrockets.
What increases the rate of chemical weathering of rock?
Chemical weathering can be increased if rainwater has is more acidic. Meaning it has a pH level higher than 5.5. Chemical weathering occurs quicker in warm and moist climates. :)
What climate does chemical weathering occur the fastest?
== == Rocks weather the fastest, due to chemical means, in high rainfall , high temperature conditions.
What is a Venn diagram that distinguishes mechanical weathering from chemical weathering?
chemical weathering works faster copper roof turns brown then green after several years in air or in minutes with the right chemicals iron hardware can be browned or blued so the weathering being the universe wind rain air sun = natural vibration annealing sanding peening = mechanical chemical =chemical
How does chemical weathering promote mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area. This allows the acid and chemicals to break down the pieces of rock faster.
Why does chemical weathering accure more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
