What kind of weathering involves only a reduction in bedrock regolith mineral particles?
mechanical
Soils formed on bedrock are termed?
If you are asking for the name of such soils, they are soils formed in residuum, or residual soils. Typically, the soil profile grades into a degraded bedrock called saprolite, with depth, before hiyting hard bedrock.
What physical characteristics of the bedrock are responsible for the oldest bedrock remaining at the highest elevation?
because bedrock is nice
WHERE IS THE BEDROCK?
Assuming you are not referring to the 'Flintstones - town of Bedrock' and are referring to geological bedrock then any rock that is not part of the soil or an erosional clast (of any size) is bedrock. Bedrock is therefore found everywhere.
What is the area of Bedrock Gardens?

Is the loose coveing of weathered rock particles and decaying organic matter overlying the bedrock of Earth's surface?

Where do hine emerald dragonfly's live?
spring fed marshes and meadows overlaying bedrock
What is deeper bedrock or humus?
Bedrock. Humus is decaying organic matter, and most organisms live above bedrock.
How does decaying plants effect Florida's bedrock?
it helps the soil by giving it energy which in a scientific way hrlps the bedrock grow larger and become stronger
Which process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
weathering
Is bedrock the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter?
No, bedrock is not the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter.Specifically, bedrock comprises one of six soil horizons or layers. Organic animal and plant matter decompose in the topmost layer and supply the layer immediately below with the humus content of A horizon's humus-mineral mix. Bedrock is found in sixth, bottommost layer which includes unweathered rock.
What kind of weathering involves only a reduction in bedrock regolith mineral particles?
mechanical
How does the c horizon form?
Bedrock weathers, and rock breaks up into soil particles.
How does C Horizon form?
Bedrock weathers, and rock breaks up into soil particles.
Are bedrock channels more likely to be found near the head or near the mouth of a stream?
In their headwaters, where the gradient is steep, most rivers cut into bedrock. These streams typically transport course particles that actively abrade the bedrock channel.
What causes the breakdown of bedrock?
Plant roots, air, water, soil particles, and pores spaces.
What combines with particles of weathered bedrock to make the fertile soil of the Midwest?
Remains of plants and animals
