What are two examples of weathering by wind?
One is the elephant rocks that you see in the American southwest. These interesting formations are a result of weathering by wind that picks up very small clasts from sand dunes
Are stalactites a form chemical weathering?
No, stalactites are not a form of chemical weathering. Stalactites are formations that result from the deposition of minerals carried by water dripping from the ceiling of a cave, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical processes like oxidation or dissolution.
The rust colored tint of some desert landscapes is the result of?
The result of the rust colored tint of desert landscapes are to show chemical weathering. This is shown on a map.
What occurs as a result of a rocks exposure to a chemical?
chemical weathering
Is clay formation a result of mechanical or chemical weathering?
Clay formation is primarily a result of chemical weathering, where minerals in rocks are broken down by chemical processes to form clay minerals.
What produces a fragmental sedimentary rock?
It is the result of weathering processes on earth.
What is one difference between chemical and mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering is the breaking down of a rock on a minute level, like the solution of minerals. Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of a rock, sometimes causing a crack through an entire strata, resulting in mass movement; but mostly mechanical weathering is as a result of a factor which causes the rock to physically separate.
What is the usual result when the ocean breaks pebbles into smaller and smaller peices?
weathering
The growth of plant roots and animal activity may result in .?
mechanical weathering
What are two ways mechanical weathering change rocks?
Two forms of mechanical weathering are frost heaving and plant root wedging. All forms of mechanical weathering result in the breakage of rock into smaller size particles.
How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate of weathering.?
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
What may cause weathering of bronze statues?
Exposure to air pollutants, rainwater, and fluctuating temperatures can lead to weathering of bronze statues. The formation of patina, a greenish layer on the surface of bronze, occurs as a result of this weathering process.
