Okay, so think about it. If a sidewalk was not built with cracks in it, then eventually weathering and erosion would cause cracks anyway. Then, whenever it rained, rainwater would get in the cracks. Stay with me now! If the temperature then dropped below the freezing point (32 degrees F, 0 degrees C), then the water in the cracks will freeze. When water freezes, it expands, which would exert pressure on the sidewalk, eventually causing the sidewalk to further crack or even split in two! If a sidewalk already has minimal, purposefully placed cracks in it, then the damage can be minimized.
Physical weather is when the weather cause things like trees to overgrow on the sidewalk or when the roads start to get big cracks in it.
sidewalks crack in the winter because the frost gets into tiny cracks in the sidewalk and as they expand, they cause the cracks to get bigger.
being exposed to radiation could cause cancer.
limestone statues fall apart because it is very fragile when exposed to acid rain. No matter how rare it occurs, acid rain can cause a lot cracks and crevices to form. Later, when water freezes in the cracks, ice wedging can cause the statue to just fall apart too.
Salt water cause corrosion on most metal pipes.
yes.Cement sidewalks can provide a nice looking addition to a home and they aren't just attractive, they also add value to a property. Unfortunately, a characteristic of cement that many people aren't aware of, is it's porous and it will absorb water. Over the seasons, water can get into the surface of a cement sidewalk and with the melting and freezing cycles the moisture can actually cause cracks in the cement. Luckily fixing cracks in a cement sidewalk isn’t a difficult job (it's well within the skill set of most homeowners) and the tools and supplies are readily available at your local home store.
the word 'because' gives you the clue....it tells you the effect is made because...of an event!!
Weathering and erosion cause exposed land to change.
Chemical, the sodium in the salt exchanges with calcium in the concrete. The chemical products are all water soluble and the surface of the sidewalk washes away.
