Places where their is a high concentration of acid rain such as down wind from a coal energy plant. Also rocks that have a high iron content will oxidize rapidly.

How does chemical weathering on rocks happens?
Chemical reactions break down the bonds holding the rocks together, causing them to fall apart, forming smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is much more common in locations where there is a lot of water. This is because water is important to many of the chemical reactions that can take place. Warmer temperatures are also more friendly to chemical weathering.
Would you expect diffusion to occur more or less rapidly at a higher temperature?
more
Why magnesium powder reacts more rapidly than magnesium ribbon with hydrochloric acid?
There is far more total surface area available for the reaction to occur on than just the ribbon.
Are the effects of acid from decaying animals a form of chemical weathering?
Lichens and mosses grow on essentially bare rock surfaces and create a more humid chemical microenvironment. The attachment of these organisms to the rock surface enhances physical as well as chemical breakdown of the surface microlayer of the rock. On a larger scale, seedlings sprouting in a crevice and plant roots exert physical pressure as well as providing a pathway for water and chemical infiltration. So, i think it is a form of chemical weathering. Or at least that was the closest answer i could find
Are substrate and catalyse the same thing?
No! A substrate is a reagent in a chemical reaction. Catalyse is the verb form of catalyst; a catalyst is a chemical species that participates in lowering the energy barrier of a chemical reaction and allow a reaction to occur more rapidly. A catalyst is not consumed in a reaction and therefore only a small amount of catalyst is required in any reaction (if required at all), whereas a substrate must be present in the proper stoichiometric amount to allow a reaction to proceed as it is consumed.
Why does chemical weathering accure more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
How does climate affect mechanical and chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in warm, wet climates, and mechanical weathering occurs more in cold climates.
Why does chemical occur more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
Why does chemical weather occur more quickly in hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
How does physical weathering make the job easier for chemical weathering?
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
Why might weathering occur more rapidly in Nepal than kansas?
because there is more rain
What type of weathering will occur more rapidly in an area with extremely cold winters and hot summers?
What type of weathering will occur more rapidly in an area with extremely cold winters and hot summers
Why chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a rain forest than it does in a desert?
Because it is more humidity, so more water and also because is warmer.
Why does chemical weathering happen more when its hot?
why does chemical weathering happen?
Minerals resistant to chemical weathering?
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
Does physical weathering inhibit chemical weathering?
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
Why is chemical weathering faster in the tropics?
Because chemical reactions happen quicker in an increases temperature. So the more chemical reactions, the more chemical weathering
