What type of weathering do you see in florida?
I looking at this for hw right now and I'm currently on physical weathering. I have found things such as weathering of sand and rocks along the coast lines due to salt crystallization. Rocks in the ocean are smoothed out and crushed by the constant motion of the ocean. And cliff sides are deteriorated and smoothed out in pieces by waves slamming against them.
What causes weathering and erosion on the coast?
Ocean Waves
How do waves cause physical weathering?
When the waves hit land it slams and pulls back sand, shells ,and small rocks.
What kind of weathering of rock has rough edges smoothed by waves crashing against it?
physical
What happens to rocks and minerals during physical weathering?
During physical weathering the elements cause changes in rocks. Water freezes and expands to form linear cracks. This is known as frost wedging. Heat from a fire causes rocks to splinter, and ocean waves batter rocks on the shoreline. Wind carries sand and other small particles that etch patterns on soft rocks.

What are some differences of physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is due to: rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up from the action of frost and ice the action of wind or waves or running water the action of plants. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to: water dissolving minerals in the rock oxidation of metals in the rock
Would ocean waves depositing sand on beaches be an example of weathering?
No. Weathering means the breaking down of preexisting solid rock into its bits.

Can the ocean erode?
Ocean waves are what causes weathering and erosion on the coast. The force of the waves can create cracks in rocks and break them apart into smaller rockogjswziys.
A scientist who studies waves and ocean currents?
Physical oceanography is the special area of oceanography that deals with currents and waves. It is the study of physical attributes of the ocean.

How are physical weathering and chemical weathering alike?
how are physical weathering and chenical weathering alike and different
