What else can I help you with?
Can ice be an agent of chemical weathering?
No ice is an agent of physical 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.
How does ice wedging relate to mechanical weathering?
Ice wedging is a type of mechanical weathering.
Why does chemical weathering happen more when its hot?
why does chemical weathering happen?
Does ice cause weathering?
Yes, mechanical weathering.
What is the three mechanical weathering?
ice,water,and weathering
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock erosion or weathering?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
Ice wedging is an example of which type of weathering?
Mechanical Weathering
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock considered weathering or erosion?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
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 breaks rock up into tiny pices?
Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into tiny pieces. This can happen through physical weathering (such as ice wedging or abrasion) or chemical weathering (like acid rain or oxidation). Over time, these processes can turn large rocks into smaller fragments, a key step in soil formation.
What are causes of weathering called?
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.
