Can water alone weather some rocks?
Yes. The force of moving water itself can cause parts of the main rock body to break off. Additionally, acids present in rain or groundwater can chemically weather rock.
How water can cause rocks to weather?
They make the rock fly to space
Does heat and metamorphism cause rock to weather and erode?
No because it is rain and running water.
What weather cause a Igneous rock to form?
igneos rock is formed when magma cools.not by weather
How does melting water weather a rock?
the water freezes and then cracks the rock
When does weathering of rock begin?
The process of weathering (the creation of smaller rock particles from a larger rock body), begins as soon as the rock body is exposed to any cause of weathering. The weathering could start immediately in the case of extrusive igneous rock, which is formed from molten material on the surface, when acid in water chemically attacks the surface. Igneous rock underground can begin to weather simply by the erosion of the rock above it, which releases pressure on it, causing the rock body to expand and fracture.
How do trees and grass weather rock?
their roots open cracks in the rocks further allowing water in, that can then freeze and cause more weathering
Why does a bigger rock take longer to weather?
be cause a smaller rock has more volume
In the rock cycle water and weather wear away rock by the process of?
Weathering.
Does water weather rock by gradually dissolving it?
Yes, its true.
Why do rocks weathers faster in climates than in dry climates?
Rocks can usually weather faster in wet climates than dry climates because of water. For example, when it rains, the constant impact of the water hitting against the rock can gradually cause erosion. It can cause parts of the rock to break away.
Can water weather rock by gradually dissolving it?
Yes, if the water is acidic(acid rain)
