What are physical and chemical weathering?

Physical Weathering: is when a rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical Weathering: is when the rock change due to different chemical reactions.


How can physical weathering increase the rate of chemical weathering?

Physical weathering breaks rock down into much smaller pieces and gives the original rock a much greater surface area which, when exposed to chemical agents such as carbonic acid, reacts at a much faster rate than it would had the larger rock not undergone physical weathering.


What are the effects of weathering on rocks?

two common weathering agents- Physical: water, wind, or ice grind off the surface of the rock making it smaller. Chemical: a solution dissolves certain minerals out of rock which may make it smaller or leaves spongelike holes in it.


What are the two types of weathering and erosion?

As a SIIT college student, based on what Mrs. Forcadilla taught us, the Two kinds of Weathering are Mechanical- physical forces that broken down rocks into smaller pieces. and Chemical- informed transformation of rock into non-chemical composition.


What are the agents of biological weathering?

The agents of "weathering" is both the agents of the physical and the chemical weathering combined. Agents of physical weathering can be: wind, water, sun, ice, gravity, rain, etc. Agents of chemical weathering may be: acid from roots, acid rain, oxidation/reduction (rusting), carbon dioxide, etc. They are the same because both physical and chemical weathering lead to erosion of rocks. In other words, both help rocks break down into smaller pieces. They are also the same because both physical and chemical weathering can occur with the same agent. For example, TREES. The roots of trees release acid to break down rocks (chemical weathering) while the roots of trees also grow into the cracks of rocks and help break them apart (physical weathering). Note that weathering is just the beginning process of erosion. Erosion is when stuff actually breaks down into smaller pieces.

Is mixing sugar and water physical or chemical?

Physical. The water breaks up the crystals of sugar into individual molecules, but you still have sugar and water. The sugar is just in smaller clumps.

The chemical process by which molecules are broken down into their smaller components is called catabolism.

Is it possible for the number of molecules to change as a result of a chemical reaction?

That happens all the time. Smaller molecules combine to form larger molecules; larger molecules break up into smaller molecules.
