What is the process that breaks down rock into sediment?
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.
Which process weathering or erosion is easier to see actually taking place?
Why is erosion easier to see than weatheringHow can the process of erosion take placeWhat caused the weathering or erosion take placeWhere does weather erosion mostly take placeDoes weathering take place before or after erosionDoes weathering need to occur before erosion takes placeDoes weathering must take place before erosionWhy is weathering important to the process of erosionWhich process is faster erosion or weatheringWhat does ice have to do with the process of weathering and erosionB1TCH
Does physical weathering inhibit chemical weathering?
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
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)
How weathering processes affected the development of an area?
The weathering process is affected by climatic conditions. Moist and warm climates favor chemical weathering, while moist, cold climates favor physical weathering. In dry climates, weathering is slow. Would you expect to find any chemical weathering on a rock from the moon? The rate of the weathering process is affected by particle size.
Why does the color of granite never change?
The colour of granite does in fact change. For example it will change during the weathering process where feldspar minerals will change to clay minerals such as kaolinite. If the degree of weathering is high this can significantly alter the colour of the granite.
Clay minerals silica and dissolved potassium bicarbonate in the soil water are products of which process?
chemical weathering of orthoclase feldspar
Is feldspar mixing with acidic groundwater and producing clay minerals chemical or weathering?
This is a chemical process.
Is kaolin a physical or a chemical process?
Adsorption on kaolinite is physical
Uluru's weathering process?
THE WEATHERING PROCESS ......................... WHO KNOWS???
What is the process of rock breaking apart?
It is the process of weathering.
Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
What is laterisation?
laterisation or laterization is the process in which a laterite is formed. A laterite is an ore deposit as a result of intense weathering in humid, warm, tropical type locations around the world. It is usually rich in clay (kaolinite) and Iron and Aluminum oxides/oxyhydroxides. (Robb, L. 2005)
What is the process of weathering?
The process of Weathering is when a rock is broken down into small pieces
What roles does acid precipitation play in the weathering process?
it speeds up the weathering process.
Physical weathering and chemical weathering?
What you're saying is that the weathering and erosion is the process of science.
What is the breaking process of rock?
It is the process of weathering.
