Are meanders a constructive or destructive?
They are destructive because it breaks down the river by wind, water, and ice abrasion a mechanical/physical type of weathering.
What causes most weathering on earths surface?
wind
Agent of weathering?
Wind, heat from the sun, plant and animal activity, freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from windblown, ice or water carried material, chemical weathering from acidic solutions such as acidic rain, hydrolysis.
What type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountains areas?
The mechanical weathering involves erosion,wind pressure.
Is wind the most important part in chemical weathering?
No, it's not true.
why is wind the most important weathering agent in the desert?
The action of wind erosion is more prominent in deserts because there is little vegetation cover and the soil cover is loose. As such sediments get easily carried and deposited by winds. Besides absence of other agents of erosion like water and ice makes wind the most prominent weathering agent in the deserts.
Mount St Helens lava composition?
After the eruption, with no ground cover, erosion (both wind and rain) was the main weathering agent. Most weathering is time dependent, more time, more weathering. Exposure to strong sunlight can also act as a weathering agent. Most of what could be weathered was ash and deadwood.

How does the wind change the rock?
Wind is an agent of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller particles. Wind moves small rock particles against other rock surfaces, weathering them. Wind will also drive water deeper into fissures, which could then freeze, causing further weathering. Wind can also cause greater wave action on shorelines, increasing weathering.
What is the most destructive process of erosion?
Wind
What causes most weathering on earths surface?
wind
What is tornadoes most destructive features?
their wind speeds
Agent of weathering?
Wind, heat from the sun, plant and animal activity, freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from windblown, ice or water carried material, chemical weathering from acidic solutions such as acidic rain, hydrolysis.
What is weathering wind?
Wind weathering is the process were small sediments and/or sand is brushed against rocks due to abrasion.
What type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountains areas?
The mechanical weathering involves erosion,wind pressure.
Is wind the most important part in chemical weathering?
No, it's not true.
What is Wind and water are agents of?
Wind and water are agents of erosion
