What type of weathering creates a bay?
bay
What type of rocks can be affected by weathering and erosion?
Any type of rock that is at or near the surface could be affected by weathering and erosion. Mountains are eventually flattened; caves are formed underground. Both are the result of weathering and erosion.
What type of weathering creates karst topography?
Acid rain dissolves limestone bedrock.
What type of weathering causes caverns to be formed?
Principally chemical as the limestone is dissolved by carbonic acid (rain-water acidified by absorbed atmospheric CO2). As the cave develops mechanical weathering of its stream-passages may contribute, by abrading the rock with sand carried in the stream.
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What type of weathering creates a bay?
bay
What type of rock is Carlsbad Caverns?
Limestone. The caves are located in a limestone mountain range called the Guadalupe Mountains.
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.)
Why are there so many caves in limestone rock?
Because Limestone rock is a awesome type of rock that creates caves.
What type of rocks can be affected by weathering and erosion?
Any type of rock that is at or near the surface could be affected by weathering and erosion. Mountains are eventually flattened; caves are formed underground. Both are the result of weathering and erosion.
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 chemical weathering is most evident in the US caves?
Same as in any caves of the same types anywhere in the world, which in karst caves is dissolution of the host limestone by weakly-acidic ground-water.
What type of weathering creates karst topography?
Acid rain dissolves limestone bedrock.
What are large caves called?
Large caves are called caverns. Caverns are characterized by their size and often contain unique geological formations such as stalactites and stalagmites. They are formed over millions of years through various geological processes.
What is the type of landscape in which caves are common in?
A buried layer of limestone or other Calcium rich mineral. To have this you need uplifted sea-floor
What type of rock is usually present in areas with a lot of caves?
Limestone is the type of rock that is commonly found in areas with a lot of caves. Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, which is soluble in water. Over time, as rainwater seeps into the ground, it dissolves the limestone and creates openings and caves in the rock.
What type of weathering causes caverns to be formed?
Principally chemical as the limestone is dissolved by carbonic acid (rain-water acidified by absorbed atmospheric CO2). As the cave develops mechanical weathering of its stream-passages may contribute, by abrading the rock with sand carried in the stream.
