Chemical change for rocks?
chemical weathering can change a rock by the water freezing inside the roclk and the crease of the rock breaking by the frozen water inside of it.
How do chemical weathering processes differ from mechanical weathering processes?
Chemical weathering processes change the mineral composition of the rock, but physical weathering processes do not. Mechanical (physical) weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller particles due to such factors as freezing and thawing, release of pressure, water absorption salt crystal formation, landmass uplift, expansion and contraction from the sun or fire, plant root growth, actions of animals, abrasion, or other means that do not directly affect the rock's chemistry. Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater. Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures.
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.
Is tufa clastic chemical or organic?
Tufais a chemical rock.
When the chemical composition of rock changes what has occurred?
Chemical change not a physical. A CHEMICAL CHANGE
What are at least three processes that mechanically weather rock?
wind, water and heat.
What is formed when physical or chemical processes weather rock on or near the earths surface?
Smaller particles of rock are produced from larger particles.
What is carbonation How does it weather rock?
it is a chemical
The mechanical and chemical processes that break down rock are together known as?
all the mechanical and chemical that breaks down rock
What can affect the rate at whick a rock weathers?
Rocks weather due to physical changes. They can also weather as a result of chemical processes. Things that can affect the rate at which a rock weathers includes weather conditions. Rocks can decompose due to wind and water. The more intense the weather conditions, the more progressive the weathering process will be.
Which rock is sedimentary in origin and formed as a result of chemical processes?
Dolostone because it is a sedimentary rock that is formed through a chemical process that involves evaporation and crystallization.
What process changes a sedimentary rock change into an igneos rock?
Sedimentary rocks are formed in three basic ways: by physical processes, by plants and animals,and by chemical processes. The Sedimentary rock can be form into the igneous rock by five ways. They are as followed: uplift, eroison, transport, depostion, and lithification. You would be more likely to look at the rock cycle in the online dictionary of Wikipedia for the rock cycle.
Chemical change for rocks?
chemical weathering can change a rock by the water freezing inside the roclk and the crease of the rock breaking by the frozen water inside of it.
Three types of rock-forming processes comprise the?
The rock cycle
What is weather resistant metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock that resists chemical and mechanical weathering, for example, the rock gneiss.
The process by which rock materials are broken down by the action of physical or chemical processes?
weathering
Explanations of the three types of weathering?
chemical weathering is when a chemical reacts with a rock to brake down a rock.
