Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by?
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by acid rain. It is a type of rainfall that is made acidic due to atmospheric pollution.
What is weathering by acid rain?
Acidic rain causes chemical weathering to occur. Dissolution in particular.
What is acid rain weathering?
Acidic rain causes chemical weathering to occur. Dissolution in particular.
What are two examples of weathering?
erosion-from acidic rain and sorry cant help you out for a second
What agent of chemical weathering caused by pollution?
Acid Rain
How can acid affect the rate of weathering?
Acid acts as a catalyst, causing water-releated weathering to happen more quickly. This is why acid rain is so potentially harmful. Pollutants in the air mix with water in rain giving the rain an acidic quality, which speeds up weathering.
What type of erosion does rain drops form?
If you mean acidic rain, then rain drops obviously form chemical weathering. Weathering is the breaking down of rock into smaller pieces. Erosion is the carrying of sediment by water, wind, or ice.
What caused the chemical weathering that created the lechuguilla caves?
Acid Rain
What is the difference between normal rain and acid rain since normal rain is acidic anyway?
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
Is the source of weathering in the Grand Canyon the Colorado River?
Yes, although some weathering is caused by wind and rain.
What agents are weathering the Vatican?
The worst is air pollution and acid rain caused by air pollution. Water (rain) and wind also cause some weathering.
How does acid rain cause chemical weathering?
The acid rains are due to acidic gases within the the atmosphere. Gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides get dissolved in the rain water, making the water very acidic. They lower the PH of the water below 3 from time to time. This sort of strong acidic water when falls on buildings/rocks, it tends to eat away their surface. So in this manner acidic rain cause weathering.
