What climate is the most conducive to rapid weathering?
The climate that is the most conducive to rapid weathering are tropical climates. They will have the fastest rate of weathering.
Why chemical weathering would not be rapid in antarctica?
Because it's cold and dry and chemical weathering usually happens in warm and wet areas like the tropical areas
Which climate produce the most rapid chemical weathering of rock?
hot and dry
Why chemical weathering is more rapid in tropical regions?
Because since it rains so much, erosion occurs (water, oxygen, or carbon dioxide) which is a chemical reaction. Tropical regions have the most living life (Biomass and Biodiversity) which means it rains even more for the animals to survive in.Tropical Region= More rain. More rain= More life= there is more chemical weathering from the rain.
How is explosion of fireworks a chemical change?
Explosions could be caused by a chemical reaction, or they could have a mechanical cause. It could even be nuclear. If a stick of TNT goes off, it's chemical, while a compressed gas cylinder with a failing weld that explodes while being filled is mechanical. A nuclear weapon is driven by nuclear reactions. All involve a rapid and violent release of energy. The thing that makes an explosion is the speed of the activity, whether it be chemical or mechanical. A high explosive anti-tank round is a chemical weapon, while a ballistic "spear" (perhaps made with depleated uranium) used to defeat modern armor is a mechanical weapon.
Is Mechanical weathering is more rapid in warm wet climates.?
YES!
Mechanical weathering or erosion is more rapid in what type of climate?
There are many types of mechanical weathering, some due to climatic conditions, some not. Excluding non-climatic causes, mechanical weathering such as plant root growth, would be assisted by tropical conditions which encourage plant growth and root hydraulics. In desert regions, weathering is more rapid under conditions of high wind, which causes abrasion of rock surfaces. In areas that experience hot/cold alternating temperatures, frost wedging and thermal stress will contribute to rapid mechanical weathering. The type of rock being exposed to agents of mechanical weathering would also play a part in the speed at which the weathering takes place, as some rock varieties are more easily mechanically weathered than others.
Chemical wearthering is more rapid in what climate?
Tropical
What climate is the most conducive to rapid weathering?
The climate that is the most conducive to rapid weathering are tropical climates. They will have the fastest rate of weathering.
Which factor contributes to relatively rapid production of new soils in tropical rainforest climates?
humidity
What is the process of deep chemical weathering in humid tropical environment?
it is the process were a rock is weathered underground by chemical weathering,and because the tropic are very humid, chemical decomposition of the rock is rapid
Why chemical weathering would not be rapid in antarctica?

Which climate produce the most rapid chemical weathering of rock?
hot and dry
What are the problems of rapid growth in tropical Africa?
rapid growth of what? people? plants? lobsters? gotta be more specific
When is chemical weathering most rapid?
hot and wet
