What is water - rock interations on Karst?
Is the morphological landscape of dissoloution and percipation of near surface bed rock.
What is water - rock interations on Metasomatism?
Of many isons dissolve in water Na+,K+, Ca2+ Elements are slowly stripped away.
What kind of weathering is a cracked rock?
It is water weathering
Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock?
Water is the substance that has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock. Water can seep into cracks in rock, freeze and expand, causing the rock to break apart. Water can also chemically react with minerals in the rock, leading to chemical weathering.
What is a type of weathering where rock is broken down as absorbs water?
Hydration
How does freezingwater cause the weathering of rocks?
Water can get into fractures/joints/pores of rock, freeze, and then expand, weathering the rock.
What type of weathering is rock broken down as it absorbs water?
The type of weathering that occurs when rock is broken down as it absorbs water is known as hydration weathering. This process involves the absorption of water into the rock structure, causing it to weaken and break apart over time.
Is water freezing in cracks in a rock a physical weathering?
Yes, water freezing in cracks in a rock is a form of physical weathering called frost wedging. As water freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the rock and causing it to break apart over time.
Why is rock weathering reduced in the desert?
Water causes the greatest amount of weathering, especially flowing water. Water is scarce in deserts.
In the rock cycle water and weather wear away rock by the process of?
Weathering.
Does weathering happen when bits of rock are moved by water or ice?
Yes, weathering can occur when bits of rock are moved by water or ice. This process, known as physical weathering, includes erosion caused by the abrasion of rock surfaces by sediment being transported by water or ice. Over time, this movement can break down rocks into smaller pieces.
What is the word used to describe how water changes the shape of rock?
Probably weathering and/or erosion.
