Where is mechanical weathering most likely to occur?
it is found in a desert
What type of climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate?
hot and humid
What types of weathering are likely to occur in Piney Woods?
ya mama
What climate does chemical weathering occur the fastest?
== == Rocks weather the fastest, due to chemical means, in high rainfall , high temperature conditions.
How fast does weathering occur?
Weathering and erosion occur all the time even when mountains are forming
Where is mechanical weathering most likely to occur?
it is found in a desert
In what type of weathering does salt wedging occur?
mechanical weathering
What type of weathering does not happen in the desert?
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
Does mechanical weathering occur when it is wet and dry?
yes
What Climate does mechanical weathering mostly occur in?
cold weather
What can occur during a chemical reactions?
Weathering can be mechanical or chemical.
When does weathering occur most?
Chemical weathering in the warm, wet season and mechanical weathering in the cool, dry season.
How does chemical weathering make it easy for mechanical weathering to occur?
because the rat ate the rat and ate itself
What type of climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate?
hot and humid
What is a cause of mechanical weathering?
Weathering may occur through the actions of water, air, plants, animals and various chemicals. Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the composition of the minerals in the rock
Does a cold climate help mechanical weathering?
No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials. In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement. the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand
What is breaking of rock into smaller pieces by gravity or other forces is it chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
The answer depends on what "other forces" you are talking about. If the other forces are chemical, then weathering can be both chemical or mechanical. Generally, both types occur to various extents.
