Is a type of weathering caused by chemical reaction with water?
yes, liquid water is a unit of chemical weathering. ice is a unit of physical weathering.
Which type of rock can be formed by chemical reactions?
limestone
What type of climate is chemical weathering most active in?
warm, humid climate
What type of chemical weathering forms from coal oil and gas burning?
Acid rain
What type of chemical weathering is associated with the formation of stalagtites and stalagmites?
the dripping of mineralized solutions and the deposition of calcium carbonate. The corresponding formation on the ceiling of a cave is known as a stalactite. If these formations grow together, the result is known as a column. is what happens but I think the process is called Dissolution
When acid rain falls on limestone what type of weathering occurs?
Chemical weathering
What are the main processes that affect limestone?
carbonation which is a type of chemical weathering
What type of weathering is represented by the dissolution of limestone in acid?
type of weathering represented by dissolution of lime stone in acid is known as chemical weathering and is mainly expirienced in coastal regions as rain water dissoves CO2 in the air forming a weak carbonic acid which then dissolves limestone in the area in the process of chemical weathering and it results in the formation of karst scenary.
The type of weathering that is evident in many of the caves in your country is?
The same type evident in all limestone caves, and in your country too!Chemical weathering - the limestone is dissolved by weakly acid water flowing through them. Some mechanical erosion by abrasion in high water, but this is a secondary mechanism.
What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical Weathering .
What type of chemical weathering that is evident in many of the caves in your country is?
In all limestone caves, the same as as is "evident" - by the cave's very existence - as in all the limesrtone caves and other karst features in your country - chemical weathering! (Dissolution by carbonic acid.)
What type of weathering is oxidation?
Chemical weathering
What type of weathering causes acid rain?
carbonation is an example of chemical weathering carbonation is an example of chemical weathering
What is the type of weathering that involes a chemical change in some of the minerals in a rock?
Chemical weathering
What are the differences between physical and chemical weathering and say what type acid rain is?
1. Acid rains produce a chemical weathering.2. Chemical weathering involve chemical reactions.
What is a type of weathering where rocks are dissolved by an acid?
chemical weathering
Which type of sedimentary rock is limestone?
Limestone can occur as a bioclastic or a chemical sedimentary rock.
