What are small particles produced by weathering called?
cows
What is a layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering?
Sheeting
What is the difference between siliciclastic and chemical or biochemical sedimentary rocks?
1) Chemical and biological sedimentary rocks are produced by chemical weathering instead of the siliciclastic sediments which are created by physical weathering. Because physical weathering is much more often than the chemical weathering there are 10 times more clastic sediments in the earth's crust than chemical and biological sediments.
What are the three weathering?
the 3 types of weathering are: Chemical Weathering Biological Weathering Physical Weathering
Are the three types of weathering?
biological weathering , physical weathering & chemical weathering.
What is produced by the weathering of rocks into smaller particles?
they die
What are small particles produced by weathering called?
cows
What is a layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering?
Sheeting
What is soil produced by?
Mainly by the weathering and erosion of particles of rock.
What is produced when chemical weathering breaks down rocks?
Soil
What weathering acid produced by some plant root?
weak acid
What process caused the accumulation of sand that produced the sand dunes A. erosion B. physical weathering C. chemical weathering D. deposition?
D. deposition
What kind of mechanicl weathering is humus in soil produced by?
Its produced by bedrock because if you have the science book of Temecula Middle School, it will show you on page 66.
What is an agent of weathering?
There are two classifications of the weathering process - physical and chemical weathering.Mechanical or physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through direct contact with atmospheric conditions, such as heat, water, ice and pressure.Includes: frost weathering, water weathering and heat stress weatheringChemical weathering, involves the direct effect of atmospheric chemicals or biologically produced chemicals (also called biological weathering) in the breakdown of rocks, soils and minerals. Includes: dissolving by rain water, oxidation of metals and actions by plants.

What cause chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering of rocks is caused by a chemical reaction. Factors such as dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rocks are factors of chemical weathering.
What are the three weathering?
the 3 types of weathering are: Chemical Weathering Biological Weathering Physical Weathering
