Metamorphism
The process that changes the characteristics of a rock is called metamorphism. This involves changes in temperature, pressure, and the presence of chemically active fluids, which can alter the mineral composition and texture of the rock. Metamorphism typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust.
Weathering.
The adiabatic process graph shows that as temperature increases, pressure also increases in a thermodynamic system. This relationship is due to the fact that in an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, so changes in temperature directly affect pressure.
Increased temperature (the application of heat), lower air pressure, and evaporation.
The chemical process known as polymerization.
chemical changes
Chemical rocks are formed when minerals in solution precipitate out, usually due to evaporation or changes in temperature or pressure. This process leads to the gradual accumulation and solidification of minerals to form rocks like limestone, gypsum, or salt.
The process is known as metamorphism. This involves the transformation of existing rock types (sedimentary or igneous) due to changes in temperature, pressure, and/or chemical processes, resulting in the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
Condensation is a physical property. It is the process by which a gas or vapor changes into liquid form when it loses heat energy.
Yes, temperature changes can cause chemical weathering by expanding and contracting rock materials, leading to the breakdown of minerals and weakening of rocks. For example, freezing and thawing cycles can cause rocks to crack and break apart, accelerating the chemical weathering process.
Physical, because it doesn't change chemical make up it just changes the appearance and texture
No, compressing oxygen gas is a physical process, not a chemical one. The oxygen molecules themselves do not undergo any chemical changes during compression; they are simply being packed more closely together.
