How does oxygen in the atmosphere differ from oxygen in rocks and minerals?
Atmospheric oxygen tends to be elemental oxygen (O2). Oxygen in rocks and minerals is chemically combined with other elements to form compounds called oxides.
Chemical weathering occurs when minerals in rocks are changed chemically. Which of these will most likely change the rate of chemical weathering on a rock?
rainfall and temperature
What is a chemical or physical process in which rocks exposed to the weather are worn down by water wind or ice?
Smaller particles of rock are produced from larger particles.
Is a rock a compound or a mixture?
Rocks are mixtures because they can be made up of varying compounds and elements in varying amounts, and these substances do not mix chemically, but physically, still retaining there chemical properties.
A substance made of two or more elements chemically combined is called?
compound
Are sedimentary rocks chemically weathered?
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
Do natural acids mechanically or chemically weather rocks?
The answer to your question is: Natural acids chemically weather rocks, hope that helped....
What Are Chemically Formed Sedimentary Rocks Formed From?
Chemically formed sedimentary rocks are formed from dead remains of plants and animals that is from an organic sediment.
Some rocks react chemically with what in the environment?
Rainwater.
Does wind weather rocks mechanically or chemically?
Mechanically
What happens when sedimentary rocks are physically and chemically changed?
Metamorphism occurs and they change to metamorphic rocks
Why don't lunar rocks chemically weather?
No atmosphere-no weather.
What are three ways sedimentary rocks can form?
Biologically, Chemically and Mechanically.
What is weathering that breaks down rocks without changing it chemically?
erosion
What kind of texture can a chemically formed rock have?
All sorts as all rocks have their own textures and are all formed from chemical compounds, but the primarily chemically-formed ones are the igneous rocks and associated minerals.
Can polluted air break down rocks?
Human pollution is generally acidic. Sometimes, the pollution can contaminate rainclouds or other sources of water, forming an acidic liquid. If a rock has contact with this substance, it could be eroded chemically.
What is the definition for chemically changed by sedimentary rocks?
I love one direction ♥
