What else can I help you with?
Does chemical weathering cause a break down in the color and size of rocks?
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
What is different between physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
What is produced when chemical weathering breaks down rocks?
Soil
What is the process that breaks rocks down into particles or its chemical components called?
weathering
What are the two types of weathering and how are they different?
The two types of weathering are mechanical weathering, which breaks rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes like freezing and thawing, and chemical weathering, which alters the composition of rocks through chemical reactions such as oxidation or dissolution. Mechanical weathering physically breaks down rocks, while chemical weathering changes their chemical composition.
When acid rain breaks down rocks by reacting with their minerals what type of weathering would this be an example of?
This is an example of chemical weathering, as the acid rain is reacting chemically with the minerals in the rocks to break them down.
Is dissolution a type of chemical weathering that breaks down rocks by absorbing water?
Yes
What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
Chemical weathering is the process that breaks down rocks by altering their chemical composition through reactions with substances like water, oxygen, and acids. This process can result in the transformation of minerals within the rock, leading to its decomposition and eventual disintegration.
Acid rain breaks down rocks by reacting with their minerals. This process is an example of?
chemical weathering
Why is acid rain harmful to rocks?
it causes chemical weathering that breaks down the minerals of the rock
How are mechanical weathering an chemical weathering different?
Mechanical weathering involves physical processes that break down rocks into smaller pieces, such as freeze-thaw cycles or root growth. Chemical weathering involves chemical reactions that alter the composition of rocks, like oxidation or dissolution. Overall, mechanical weathering physically breaks down rocks, while chemical weathering changes their chemical makeup.
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering similar?
It would be easier to say how they are different. Both physical and chemical weathering can cause pitting, erosion of material and degradation of optical properties, making glass surfaces less reflective or transmissive.
