What else can I help you with?
Is erosion mechanical or chemical?
Erosion is a mechanical process.
Is the freezing of water a chemical process?
no, it's a physical process
Is freezing and thawing classified as chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
Freezing and thawing is classified as a type of mechanical weathering, specifically known as frost wedging. This process occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes and expands, causing the rock to break apart over time.
Is abrasion chemical or mechanical?
Abrasion is a mechanical process that involves the wearing down or rubbing away of material by friction, impact, or pressure. It is not a chemical process.
Is hydrolysis a mechanical or chemical?
Hydrolysis is a chemical process that involves breaking down molecules using water. It is not a mechanical process because it does not involve physical manipulation or force.
Is thawing and freezing a geological?
chemical change
What is it called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition chemical weathering oxidation leaching or mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering refers to the process where rocks break down physically without changing their chemical composition. This can include processes like freezing and thawing, abrasion, or root wedging.
Is oxidation an example of mechanical weathering?
no. oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves an atom or a molecule losing electrons in a chemical reaction. Mechanical weathering would be something like water seeping into cracks in a rock, then freezing and breaking that rock apart.
Is mechanical weathering a chemical or physical process?
yes.
Does water vapour have a freezing point?
Water VAPOUR literally does not have a chemical freezing point because it is in the process of evaporation which is above freezing.
Why are physical processes like freezing and boiling not chemical reaction?
Freezing and boiling do not change the chemistry in the process.
Is tree roots cracking the concrete foundation of a house mechanical or chemical?
This is a mechanical process.
