What is a way abrasion causes mechanical weathering?
The movement of abrasive particles, by either air or in water, would both be agents of mechanical weathering.
What are careers for weathering and erosion?
The agents for weathering and erosion are natural. I know off no career that would replace these natural agents. However, if you mean careers understanding or preventing them then Geology, Geography, farming and Engineering would be your choices.
What are the primary agents of weathering?
the primary agents of weathering are water, ice, and gases in the atmosphere
What is Wind and water are agents of?
Wind and water are agents of erosion
What are two agents of chemical weathering?
There are so many agents of chemical weathering. The two main agents that cause chemical weathering are acid rain and carbon dioxide.
What is a way abrasion causes mechanical weathering?
The movement of abrasive particles, by either air or in water, would both be agents of mechanical weathering.
What are some main agents of physical weathering?
Natural agents of physical weathering: Rain, sand (driven by the wind), sunlight, the freeze/thaw cycle. Man-made agents of physical weathering: Acid rain.

What is Wind and water are agents of?
Wind and water are agents of erosion

Glaciers are agents of weathering?
not just glaiciers, but all ice, (including glaiciers) are agents of weathering.
What are the three agents of chemical weathering?
water,acids and air are all agents of chemical weathering
What are three agents of chemical weathering?
Water, Acids , and Air are all agents of chemical weathering
Agent of weathering?
Wind, heat from the sun, plant and animal activity, freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from windblown, ice or water carried material, chemical weathering from acidic solutions such as acidic rain, hydrolysis.
What are the agents of weathering and erosion?
Some agents of weathering are heat from the sun, plant and animal activity, freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from windblown ice or water carried material, chemical weathering from acidic solutions such as acidic rain, and hydrolysis. The four main weathers agents are wind, ice, gravity, and water.The agents of weathering include temperature, water, and gravity. Water causes the most weathering with ice, rain, and river movement causing stone to weather.
