Wind and water are important causes of what?
-- Structural deterioration.-- Stunted vegetation.-- Soil erosion.-- 'Weathering' of rock and land forms.
Is abrasion chemical or mechanical weathering?
Abrasion is Mechanical Weathering.
How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.
What type of weathering is seen in desert environments a. spheroidal weathering b. hydrolysis c. sedimentation d. differential weathering?
differential weathering
Which type of weathering is a source of vegetation?
Mechanical
Vegetation is a source of which type of weathering?
Mechanical
Extreme temperatures freezing water and vegetation can cause whaT?
weathering
Extreme temperatures freezing water and vegetation can all cause what?
weathering

weathering

-- Structural deterioration.-- Stunted vegetation.-- Soil erosion.-- 'Weathering' of rock and land forms.
What does the rate of weathering depend on?
The rate of weathering depends on: surface exposure, composition of the rock, and climate.
What are some of the factors that influence or control the mechanical and chemical weathering of rocks?
Temperature, rainfall, vegetation, animal activity, type of rock being weathered.
Is chemical weathering faster along the Amazon river than the Himalayas?
Yes that would make sense as there is a great deal of vegetation along the Amazon as opposed to any place in the Himalaya's. and plants are responsible for creating many of the chemicals that result in chemical weathering.
How would the rate of weathering change?
the rate of weathering is hardness of rock structure of rock and grainsize chemical properties, especially calcium carbonate rainfall (volume and intensity wind freezing/thawing vegetation (or lack of) slope (increase slope = increase weathering) salt processes (salt water enters cracks then crystallises, forcing small cracks open like ice does)
How does weathering relate to soil?
They are related because weathering brakes down rocks into minerals and that is also called soil erosion. This takes most of the nutrients out of the soil, thus harming plants and vegetation. Soil erosion is bad. Without weathering there is no soil and without soil there are less animals and stuff like that for all you bitches and bastards that blow your homework off and use this website to get answers
