In what type of weathering does salt wedging occur?
mechanical weathering
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
The most important factor that determines the rate of weathering are type of rock and?
climate
What type of weathering causes root wedging?
Biological hydraulic weathering.
What type of weathering could change stone?
Erosion is the process of water softening rock into soil or sand (depending on the type of rock). It is a long process which uses rain and high tides against rock. Overtime, the stone is softened by the water and begins to crack and crumble. This continues until the stone becomes soil or sand.
What type of rock suffers from weathering most quickly?
that would be ether sand stone or lime stone Cheers Gym_
Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering?
i think its granite Above answer is wrong! Granite is VERY hard and weathers slowly. SANDSTONE is very soft and permeable and weathers (erodes) very quickly.
What type of weathering does the most damage?
water
The actions of animals most commonly can cause the type of weathering know as?
Mechanical weathering
What is the most common type of chemical weathering?
oxegyn
Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weather?
Sandstone weathers comparatively quickly.
The most of important factors in determining the rate of weathering are what?
The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock and the climate. Rainfall affects the rate of weathering.
What type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountains areas?
The mechanical weathering involves erosion,wind pressure.
What is the main type of weather in in the desert?
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
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.
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What type of climate is chemical weathering most active in?
warm, humid climate
