What does sulfide rock create when exposed to rain and air on the surface?
Sulfide rock create when exposed to rain and air on the surface sulfuric acid.
Which rock weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain?
limestone
Which rock would be most affected by acid rain?
Rocks containing carbonate (CO2) are highly affected by acid rain. Limestone (CaCO2) is a very common carbonate rock.
What happens when acid rain attacks rocks?
It will corroed the rock away
What causes mechanical weathering by blowing sand and exposed rock?
Acid rain that comes from pollution can damage exposed rocks over time.
Where can you find examples of ersion due to acid rain?
places with exposed limestone or other calcium based rocks. acid rain reacts with the calcium producing fizzing and the rock dissolves. examples would perhaps be much of Yorkshire and exposed chalk such as around dover
What rock weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain?
Carbonates such as limestone react with acids and so are weathered very quickly. It doesn't need even to be polluted rain, as it reacts with even the carbonic acid present all the time in rain.
What happens when a rock is exposed to a chemical?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
Which rock decays faster from acid rain?
Rocks containing carbonate, like limestone, dissolve fastest in acidic rain
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
