How does freezingwater cause the weathering of rocks?
Water can get into fractures/joints/pores of rock, freeze, and then expand, weathering the rock.
What is one cause of weathering on a cliff?
One cause of weathering on a cliff is freeze-thaw weathering. This occurs when water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezes, expands, and then thaws, causing the rock to break apart over time.
What is a type of weathering where rock is broken down as absorbs water?
Hydration
How does Biology cause weathering?
•Organisms (especially plants) excrete acids both to extract nutrients and to build roots •Cause rock weathering
How do humans cause mechanical weathering?
They cause it by mining which breaks down rock physically
What are the two factors that cause differential weathering?
The two factors that cause differential weathering are variations in rock composition and variations in rock structure. Rocks with different mineral compositions and structures will weather at different rates, leading to differential weathering processes.
How dose wind cause weathering?
It can move away rock, etc.
How can lichens cause mechanical weathering?
they eat away the surface of a rock
What living things attaches to rock and cause chemical weathering?
Lichen.
How does unloading contribute to weathering?
Unloading contributes to weathering by relieving pressure on rock layers, which can cause expansion and fracturing of the rock. This can lead to the breaking off of outer layers of rock, increasing surface area exposed to weathering processes such as erosion and chemical weathering.
What does not cause mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering, such as the reaction of rock with acids or oxidation, does not cause mechanical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing, abrasion, and root growth that break rocks into smaller pieces without altering their composition.
What happens when a rock Is chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering of rock occurs when minerals within the rock are broken down or altered through chemical reactions. This can lead to the formation of new minerals, decomposition of the rock's structure, or dissolution of the rock into smaller particles. Over time, chemical weathering can weaken the rock and cause it to disintegrate.
