In what type of weathering does salt wedging occur?
mechanical weathering
What can occur during a chemical reactions?
Weathering can be mechanical or chemical.
Climate does not effect the rate in which weathering can occur?
Nope
When does weathering occur most?
Chemical weathering in the warm, wet season and mechanical weathering in the cool, dry season.
What is the name of the process when rocks freeze and expand?
Mechanical weathering may occur if the crack is enlarged. Also referred to as frost wedging.
What type of climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate?
hot and humid
What climate does chemical weathering occur the fastest?
== == Rocks weather the fastest, due to chemical means, in high rainfall , high temperature conditions.
In what type of weathering does salt wedging occur?
mechanical weathering
What type of weathering does not happen in the desert?
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
Does mechanical weathering occur when it is wet and dry?
yes
Does a cold climate help mechanical weathering?
No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials. In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement. the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand
Where is mechanical weathering most likely to occur?
it is found in a desert
What can occur during a chemical reactions?
Weathering can be mechanical or chemical.
Climate does not effect the rate in which weathering can occur?
Nope
When does weathering occur most?
Chemical weathering in the warm, wet season and mechanical weathering in the cool, dry season.
Where does weathering mostly occur?
Actually weather doesn't mostly occur in places. weather occurs everywhere
Why does chemical weathering accure more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
