What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What happens when a rock is exposed to a chemical?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
What is the type of weathering that involes a chemical change in some of the minerals in a rock?
Chemical 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.
What is the principal difference between weathering and chemical weathering?
occures when the chemical comosition of the rock changes
What kind of weathering happens to a rock exposed to an acid rain?
Chemical Weathering.. because as rocks exposed to acid rains like limestones, it slowly dissolve and change into a new form
What process does igneous rock have to go through to be formed into sediment?
The igneous rock must be exposed to weathering, whether it be chemical weathering, or mechanical weathering.
What occurs as the results of a rocks exposure to a chemical?
The answer will depend on what the chemical is! A rock exposed to nitrogen, under normal temperature and pressure will be no different from what it would be otherwise!
What kind of weathring happens to a rock exposed to acid rain why?
Chemical Weathering.. because as rocks exposed to acid rains like limestones, it slowly dissolve and change into a new form
What does mechanical weathering of rock mean?
any of the various weathering processes that cause physical disintegration of exposed rock without any change in the chemical composition of the rock
Does mechanical weathering add the effectiveness of chemical weathering?
it will be influenced, because chemical happens in warm wet area, while are only happens in cold areas :) :) :) :) ONLY A DIRECTIONER WILL IMPROVE IT FOR PUTTING DIRECTIONER FOREVER AND PAULWAYS :) :) :) :) ~Alexia Escutia
What does a rock begin to do when it is exposed to weather?
It begins the process of weathering, involving physical and chemical attack.
What happens to the surface area of rock as it breaks apart?
Fracturing increases the surface area of a rock exposed to weathering.
What are the most important factors that determine the rate of weathering rock?
The most important factors that determine the rate of weathering rock are the composition and fabric of the rocks and the physical and chemical environment to which the surface of the rock is exposed.
How can physical weathering increase the rate of chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks rock down into much smaller pieces and gives the original rock a much greater surface area which, when exposed to chemical agents such as carbonic acid, reacts at a much faster rate than it would had the larger rock not undergone physical weathering.
Physical or chemical changes that occur in exposed crustal material through the activity of the forces of nature is called?
The process that creates soil from bare rock is called"weathering". The chemical and physical processes of [weathering] transform igneous rock.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
