What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rock to change?
Chemical weathering
What kind of weathering chemically changes rock?
Chemical
What kind of weathering formed Carter Caves?
igneous rock
Does the age of a rock effect the rate of weathering?
depends on the kind of rock the material it is made of.
What kind of plant causes mechanical weathering of a rock?
any plant
What kind of weathering does not alter the chemical composition of the rock?
mechanical weathering (by wind or water or perhaps tenacious plant roots or human activities)
What kind of weathering happens when ice forms in cracks in a rock?
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and creates pressure that can cause the rock to fracture or break apart. This process is common in regions with climates that experience freezing temperatures.
Which kind of rock is formed by weathering erosion deposition?
Sedimentary rock is formed by the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. These rocks are made up of sediments that have been compacted and cemented together over time.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What is a Sports rock when water seeped into cracked and freezes and expands?
A sports rock, often referred to in geological contexts, is a type of rock that can be affected by freeze-thaw weathering. When water seeps into cracks in the rock and freezes, it expands, exerting pressure on the surrounding rock. Over time, this repeated cycle of freezing and thawing can lead to the deterioration and fragmentation of the rock, ultimately altering its structure and appearance. This process is a common form of physical weathering in colder climates.
What effect does weathering have on igneous rock?
The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
Rock formed from the fusion of weathering?
Weathering may change the rock into many shapes.
