What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
How does physical weathering cause chemical weathering to be more effective?
by helping each other by breaking down the minerals
Is a small rock falling of a cliff chemical or weathering?
I consider that this is a physical process.
Is shale formed by physical or chemical weathering?
Shale is a clastic sedimentary rock formed of clay and silt sized eroded particles that are a result of both physical and chemical weathering. The clay minerals, however are the result of chemical weathering of feldspars.
Differentiate physical chemical weathering?
mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition while on chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals that are stable at the earth's surfaces.
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.
While physical weathering will break a rock into chunks what turns the rock into soil?
chemical weathering
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
How does igneous rock changes into sedimentery rock?
By weathering either by physical or chemical weathering.
What are to kinds of weathering?
the types of weathering are physical and chemical. physical: like rain and ice breaking a rock. chemical: like acid rain breaking down a rock.
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
What is physical weathring and Chemical weathring?
Physical weathering is different from chemical weathering because physical weathering is when a river is to weather away the rock. Chemical is when acid precipitation is too dissolve the rock.
Explain the difference between chemical and physical weathering?
Chemical weathering is which makes new substances, whereas physical weathering is where rock is changed into smaller pieces of the same substance.
Is moss physical or chemical weathering?
chemical. it changes the actual composition of the rock. :)
How does physical weathering cause chemical weathering to be more effective?
by helping each other by breaking down the minerals
What are the sources of weathering?
weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rock. There are 3 types of weathering chemical, physical and mechanical.
What are the 2 main types of weathering?
The two main types of weathering are physical weathering and chemical weathering. Physical weathering involves water, wind and dust scraping away at rocks, while chemical weathering involves chemicals, usually acids, breaking down the rock.
