What else can I help you with?
Can ice be an agent of chemical weathering?
No ice is an agent of physical weathering
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
Does ice cause weathering?
Yes, mechanical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
Is ice wedging physical weathering or chemical weathering?
Ice wedging is physical weathering. As water freezes it grows, so when water flows into cracks or holes and then freezes it causes the water to expand, which brakes apart whatever it seeped into.
What is an example physical weathering?
ice wedging
Where on earth would physical weathering be LEAST common?
Physical weathering would be least common in extremely cold polar regions, such as Antarctica, where freeze-thaw cycles are limited due to consistently low temperatures. Without the repeated cycles of freezing and thawing, which cause physical weathering through ice wedging, the rate of physical weathering is significantly reduced in these areas.
What of these does not cause physical weathering?
Chemical weathering does not cause physical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while physical weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
What can cause physical weathering?
nothing
Can weathering have an effect of the breaking down of rocks?
Yes, weathering can break down rocks through physical or chemical processes. Physical weathering can occur through freezing and thawing, while chemical weathering can happen through reactions with water, oxygen, or acids. Over time, these processes can cause rocks to crumble or dissolve into smaller fragments.
Can gravity and ice cause mechanical weathering?
maybe
Can earthworms cause physical weathering?
not really.
