What else can I help you with?
Which factor has the greatest influence on the weathering rate of Earth's surface bedrock?
The presence of water is the factor with the greatest influence on the weathering rate of Earth's surface bedrock. Water can seep into cracks in the bedrock, freeze, expand, and cause physical weathering. It also participates in chemical weathering processes that break down the minerals in the bedrock.
Mechanical and chemical weathering changes the earth's?
Crust.
Mechanical and chemical weathering changes the earth and?
Crust.
What would not increase the effects of weathering and erosion?
trees and plants protect the earth from weathering and erosion
How chemical weathering affect rock?
Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
Which process involves either a physical or chemical breakdown of earth materials?
Weathering is the process that involves the physical or chemical breakdown of Earth materials. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of minerals in rocks through chemical reactions with water, air, or other substances.
Is chemical weathering constructive or destructive to earth?
This effect is destructive.
Refers to the group of destructive processes that change the physical and chemical character of rocks at the earth's surface?
Weathering refers to the group of destructive processes that change the physical and chemical character of rocks at the Earth's surface. It includes processes like mechanical weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering that break down rocks into smaller particles or alter their composition.
Weathering is also known as?
Weathering is also known as the breakdown of rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface through processes like mechanical weathering (physical disintegration) and chemical weathering (chemical decomposition).
What happens to a rock when they are uplifted to the surface of the earth?
Pressure on them is released, which can cause pressure-release mechanical weathering. Exposure of an uplifted rock to the surface will fully expose the rock to the effects of mechanical and chemical weathering--basically a rock rot.
.Is it possible for any of the earth material scenes to be affected by both mechanical and chemical weathering If so describe the scene and situations.?
Yes, it is possible for a scene to be affected by both mechanical and chemical weathering simultaneously. For example, a limestone cliff can be subject to both physical breakdown due to mechanical weathering like freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical weathering from acid rain slowly dissolving the limestone. This combination can lead to the formation of caves and other unique rock formations.
How do weathering effects the earth?
it increases the soil fertility and destroys landforms
