What else can I help you with?
What type of erosion effects the largest area?
mechanical weathering
How does chemical weathering speed up the effects of mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area. This allows the acid and chemicals to break down the pieces of rock faster.
What is another name for physical weathering?
mechanical weathering
How the mechanical weathering is related to the weathering?
mechanical weathering applys weather
What Are two kind of weathering?
The 2 kinds of weathering are the Mechanical or Physical Weathering and the Mechanical Weathering.
.Is it possible for any of the earth material scenes to be affected by both mechanical and chemical weathering If so describe the scene and situations.?
Yes, it is possible for a scene to be affected by both mechanical and chemical weathering simultaneously. For example, a limestone cliff can be subject to both physical breakdown due to mechanical weathering like freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical weathering from acid rain slowly dissolving the limestone. This combination can lead to the formation of caves and other unique rock formations.
What is called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition?
Mechanical weathering.
How do Hawaii island affected by mechanical weathering?
how is hawaii affected by mechanical weathering
What happens to a rock when they are uplifted to the surface of the earth?
Pressure on them is released, which can cause pressure-release mechanical weathering. Exposure of an uplifted rock to the surface will fully expose the rock to the effects of mechanical and chemical weathering--basically a rock rot.
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)
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
How climate effects weathering?
Mechanical weathering refers to weathering that causes physical erosion of exposed rock without changing its chemical composition. Climate helps promote or prevent things like frost and wind that create this form of weathering.
