What else can I help you with?
Where could rock weathering happen?
In mountains,ocean cost line,etc.
Why does chemical weathering happen more when its hot?
why does chemical weathering happen?
What are four different type of weathering that can happen without the present of water?
Four types of weathering that can occur without water include mechanical weathering caused by temperature changes, chemical weathering due to oxygen in the air, biological weathering from plant roots and burrowing animals, and physical weathering caused by wind abrasion.
Why does weathering and erosion happen?
Weathering and erosion happen due to the processes of physical, chemical, and biological breakdown of rocks and soil. Weathering breaks down rocks through exposure to elements like water, wind, and temperature changes, while erosion involves the transport of the weathered material by forces like water, wind, and glaciers. These processes shape the Earth's surface over time by wearing down and moving particles from one place to another.
What are some ways weathering can happen?
Weathering can happen through physical processes such as freeze-thaw cycles breaking down rocks, chemical processes like acid rain dissolving minerals, and biological processes where plant roots pry apart rocks. Additionally, abrasion from wind and water can contribute to weathering by wearing away rock surfaces over time.
What are two thing that could happen to metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
Weathering or melt.
Weathering and erosion on the moon?
Can't happen. Weathering takes air in motion (wind), and erosion takes water in motion, and there's none of either on the moon.
How can acid affect the rate of weathering?
Acid acts as a catalyst, causing water-releated weathering to happen more quickly. This is why acid rain is so potentially harmful. Pollutants in the air mix with water in rain giving the rain an acidic quality, which speeds up weathering.
Does weathering happen when bits of rock are moved by water or ice?
Yes, weathering can occur when bits of rock are moved by water or ice. This process, known as physical weathering, includes erosion caused by the abrasion of rock surfaces by sediment being transported by water or ice. Over time, this movement can break down rocks into smaller pieces.
What physical and chemical weathering changes could quartzite be exposed to in the future?
wind and water
What type of weathering does not happen in the desert?
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
Where did ice weathering happen?
SOMEWHERE
