Weathering in general, which I assume you mean, causes the general removal of material from the Earth, and transforms it into unconsolidated sediment which will ultimately be transported downwards, likely into an ocean or sea (although movement has nothing to do with weathering itself). The effect of this is that overall the earth become flatter.
If there was no uplift occurring, the entire planet would be completely flat, and nothing would happen and life as we know it would not exist (and indeed life itself is highly less likely).
Weathering mostly affects the highest points on earth in the most extreme environments, so it most affects mountains.
What else can I help you with?
What slowly change earth crust?
Weathering, chemical change, and mechanical change. I hope i could help.
Mechanical and chemical weathering changes the earth's?
Crust.
Mechanical and chemical weathering changes the earth and?
Crust.
Refers to the group of destructive processes that change the physical and chemical character of rocks at the earth's surface?
Weathering refers to the group of destructive processes that change the physical and chemical character of rocks at the Earth's surface. It includes processes like mechanical weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering that break down rocks into smaller particles or alter their composition.
Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
What causes rock on earth to change?
weathering from mechanical and chemical means the process is causing the rocks to become smaller and smaller each time :)
How can weathering mechanically and chemically change the earth?
Mechanical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes like freeze-thaw cycles, root wedging, and abrasion. Chemical weathering alters the composition of rocks through chemical reactions with water, oxygen, and acids. Together, these processes can weaken and erode Earth's surface, shaping landscapes over time.
Weathering is also known as?
Weathering is also known as the breakdown of rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface through processes like mechanical weathering (physical disintegration) and chemical weathering (chemical decomposition).
Mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, usually through processes like freeze-thaw cycles or root wedging. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, alters the chemical composition of rocks through reactions with water, oxygen, or acids, resulting in the dissolution or breakdown of minerals. Both processes work together to break down rocks and contribute to the overall weathering of Earth's surface.
.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.
Is it possible for anyof the earth's materials scenes to be affected by both mechanical and chemical weathering?
Yes, it is possible for Earth's materials to be affected by both mechanical and chemical weathering concurrently. Mechanical weathering physically breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which can increase their surface area and make them more susceptible to chemical weathering processes, such as hydration, oxidation, or acid rain. Together, these processes can alter the composition and structure of the materials over time.
Compare and contrast mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering provides fresh surfaces for attack by chemical processes, and chemical weathering weakens the rock so that it is more susceptible to mechanical weathering.
