Chemical Weathering occurs in warm and humid regions. it involves four major processes namely;
a) Oxidation- the process in which the atmosperic oxygen reacts with the rock tp produce oxides.
b) Carbonation- the process by which various types of carbonates ar formed, some of which are soluble in water.
c) Hydration- the process by which water is absorbed by the minerals of the rock.
d) Solution- the process in which some of the minerals get dissolved in water. They are therefore removed in solution.
it occurs when it rains. like rust on metal
chemical weathering occurs when there is a crack somewhere that is caused by nature.
hot and wet conditions
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
Chemical Weathering .
The answer will depend on what the chemical is! A rock exposed to nitrogen, under normal temperature and pressure will be no different from what it would be otherwise!
can you tell me about chemical and mechanical weathering
Chemical weathering rocks may decompose or dissolve and at the same time change in compostion through a certain chemical process to form residuals materials. Mechanical weathering happens when rocks disintegrate or breaks down into smaller pieces through physical forces. (rain, snow, freezing)
Chemical Weathering
All weathering is slow because rocks are pretty solid.
A type of Chemical weathering that happens when water interacts with minerals.
There are two types of weathering: chemical and physical. Chemical weathering is said to occur when the chemical compounds of rocks are changed. Physical weathering happens due to wind, rain, or other natural occurrences.
its going to brake
Yes, it happens very fast.
weathering is part of erosion there are two types of erosion mechanical and chemical. chemical refers to elements such as oxygen and Iron which cause a chemical change such as rust and oxidation mechanical weathering is when rocks or materials are separated by water mass movement etc
Because it's cold and dry and chemical weathering usually happens in warm and wet areas like the tropical areas
yes, liquid water is a unit of chemical weathering. ice is a unit of physical weathering.
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
Stalactites are a result of the processes of chemical weathering, not a form of chemical weathering.
