What kind of weathering chemically changes rock?
Chemical
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rocks to change?
Chemical weathering
What kind of weathering is caused by changes in temperature?
Temperature changes can cause mechanical weathering through a process called thermal expansion and contraction. This occurs when rocks expand in hot temperatures and contract in cold temperatures, leading to stress and eventual breakdown of the rock surface.
What kind of weathering will it cause when building a mine underground?
Building a mine underground can cause physical weathering as the excavation process exposes rocks to changes in pressure and temperature, leading to cracking and breaking. It can also induce chemical weathering through interactions with water and air, which can alter the composition of the rocks surrounding the mine. Over time, these weathering processes can weaken the integrity of the mine structures.
What kind of weather causes the mineral composition of rocks to change?
Chemical weathering
What kind of weathering do acids and oxygen cause?
It reacts with The minerals in The rocks, such as in feldspar.
Why is erosion easier to see than weathering?
because erosion is the carrying away of rocks and stuff, and weathering is the wearing away or breaking down of rocks and other stuff. so you can see the rocks that got carried away from their original spot but its kind of hard to see the breaking down of rocks. hope that helps!
What kind of rocks are caused by weathering?
The most common rock that experiences weathering, is sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic and Igneous are unlikey to.
What kind of rocks are formed by weathering?
Rocks formed by weathering are called sedimentary rocks. These rocks are composed of sediments, which are small pieces of other rocks or minerals that have been broken down by weathering and transported by water, wind, or ice before being deposited and compacted. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
What is it called when one kind of rock changes into another kind of rock?
The environmetal factors (temperature, pressure, chemical reactions, bacteries) provoke change of rocks.
What kind of texture can a chemically formed rock have?
All sorts as all rocks have their own textures and are all formed from chemical compounds, but the primarily chemically-formed ones are the igneous rocks and associated minerals.
Is chemical weathering when rocks break apart by wind frost and roots?
No. That is mechanical weathering. Weathering by sand or other matter carried in the wind is a special kind of mechanical weathering called aolean weathering. Weathering by acid rain is an example of chemial weathering. Limestone is particularly subject to this. Illegibility of tombstones in old garveyards provide a good illustration of this.
