Which type of weathering occurs when only the size of a rock is changed?
Physical weathering
What type of weathering occurs more rapidly in climates that experience frequent freezes and thaws?
It is called "frost weathering" or "freeze-thaw weathering" and occurs because water that freezes within the cracks in rocks will expand, compressing and eventually fracturing the rock.
Is a type of physical weathering.?
Frost wedging
What type of weathering occurs due to release of pressure?
Chemical Weathering
What determines how fast weathering occurs?
The factors that determine how fast weathering occurs are the type of rock, type of soil, time it takes, and the climbate.

What type of weathering process causes underground erosion?
Climate can affect weathering and erosion. The 2 factors include temperature and moisture. Warm climates favor chemical weathering while cold climates favor physical weathering. Dissolving Rock.
Which type of physical weathering occurs when water seeps into into cracks of rocks and freezes?
It is a form of weathering known as frost wedging.

What type of weathering never happens in warm climates?

What is the main type of weather in in the desert?
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
Factors that affect rates of weathering (climate)?
Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Climate: is the single, most important factor that affects the rate of weathering. Chemical reactions occurs faster at higher temperatures, Warm climates favor chemical weathering, cold climates favor mechanical weathering(principally freezing and thawing), more moisture, or precipitation present, the more noticeable weathering.
What type of weathering is in breaking of rocks?
Physical weathering.
What type of weathering occurs due to release of pressure?
Chemical Weathering
