What else can I help you with?
Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
Weathering by abrasion is usually caused by?
Wind-blown sand causes Mechanical Weathering of rocks by abrasion
Is acid chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
chemical
What is antonym for mechanical weathering?
The antonym for mechanical weathering is chemical weathering. Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals through chemical reactions, while mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
Is animal action mechanical or chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering
Is root wedging a form of chemical weathering?
Root wedging is a form of mechanical weathering, not chemical weathering. It occurs when tree roots grow into cracks in rocks, applying pressure that causes the rock to break apart over time. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, such as oxidation or dissolving.
What are the two main types of weathering?
The two main types of weathering are mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves physically breaking down rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rock composition through chemical reactions.
How are weathering and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
What is the natural process that causes rock to breakdown?
Weathering from mechanical and chemical means is the process that causes rocks to become smaller and smaller; wind, rain, the sun, the freeze/thaw cycle, moving glaciers, chemical reactions, and gravity are some of the causes of weathering.
What is the main thing that mechanical weathering accomplishes that makes chemical weathering more efficient?
Mechanical weathering increases the surface area that can be attacked by chemical weathering.
Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition, usually by processes such as frost wedging or root expansion. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, involves changes in the chemical composition of rocks due to reactions with substances like water, acid rain, or oxygen, leading to the breakdown of minerals.
Which of these are not Not a source pf mechanical weathering?
Precipitation (source of chemical weathering) Plant roots (source of chemical weathering) Freezing and thawing (source of mechanical weathering) Human activities (source of mechanical weathering)
