What speeds up rates of chemical reaction and weathering in rocks and soils?
== == Heat and water.
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
What roles does acid precipitation play in the weathering process?
it speeds up the weathering process.
Is frost wedging related to chemical weathering?
Frost wedging is classified as mechanical weathering, but does open up rock to further surface attack by chemical weathering.
What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
Why is the chemical weathering slow in the desert if heat speeds up chemical reactions?
Chemical weathering lacks an essential component in the desert - water.
Does hot humid weathering speed up chemical weathering process?
Yes, heat speeds up most processes including chemical weathering. Humidity and moisture likewise contribute to a speeding up of the weathering process.
What speeds up rates of chemical reaction and weathering in rocks and soils?

What does acid rain have to do with weathering?
Acid rain speeds up the process of weathering!
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
What roles does acid precipitation play in the weathering process?
it speeds up the weathering process.
What speeds a chemical change up?
catalyst speeds up chemical change
How does the size of an expose rock affect it's rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
Does physical weathering inhibit chemical weathering?
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
Is frost wedging related to chemical weathering?
Frost wedging is classified as mechanical weathering, but does open up rock to further surface attack by chemical weathering.
Name for any substance that speeds up the rate of chemical reaction?
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction is known as a CATALYST.
What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
