Name two agents of chemical weathering?
1- Natural Acids 2- Oxygen
What are the differences between physical and chemical weathering and say what type acid rain is?
1. Acid rains produce a chemical weathering.2. Chemical weathering involve chemical reactions.
What can expose rock to weathering?
Weather (wind, precipitation, temperature), pressure, and chemicals. Rock tumblers and synthetic chemical agents can simulate weathering.
Is erosion chemical weathering?
No. Erosion usually involves the transportation of material from one place to another place. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of natural Earth materials with acidic fluids, causing dissolution.
What is chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is the phenomenon which contributes to the destroying of rocks with chemical agents; the chemicals may be natural or man made.Examples are water, carbon dioxide, organic acids, acid rains etc.
What are two agents of chemical weathering?
There are so many agents of chemical weathering. The two main agents that cause chemical weathering are acid rain and carbon dioxide.
What are the three agents of chemical weathering?
water,acids and air are all agents of chemical weathering

What are the agents of biological weathering?
The agents of "weathering" is both the agents of the physical and the chemical weathering combined. Agents of physical weathering can be: wind, water, sun, ice, gravity, rain, etc. Agents of chemical weathering may be: acid from roots, acid rain, oxidation/reduction (rusting), carbon dioxide, etc. They are the same because both physical and chemical weathering lead to erosion of rocks. In other words, both help rocks break down into smaller pieces. They are also the same because both physical and chemical weathering can occur with the same agent. For example, TREES. The roots of trees release acid to break down rocks (chemical weathering) while the roots of trees also grow into the cracks of rocks and help break them apart (physical weathering). Note that weathering is just the beginning process of erosion. Erosion is when stuff actually breaks down into smaller pieces.
Does physical weathering increase chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.
