What do mechanical and chemical weathering change on the earth?
Weathering in general, which I assume you mean, causes the general removal of material from the Earth, and transforms it into unconsolidated sediment which will ultimately be transported downwards, likely into an ocean or sea (although movement has nothing to do with weathering itself). The effect of this is that overall the earth become flatter. If there was no uplift occurring, the entire planet would be completely flat, and nothing would happen and life as we know it would not exist (and indeed life itself is highly less likely). Weathering mostly affects the highest points on earth in the most extreme environments, so it most affects mountains.
In which one of the area would you expect to find chemical weathering of a opposed to mechanical weathering?
Panama
In what locations would you expect to find chemical weathering instead of mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering is prevalent in tropical climates.
Which would dissolved more quickly chemical or mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering typically occurs more quickly than chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rocks through chemical reactions. Factors such as temperature, precipitation, and rock composition can influence the rate of weathering.
What type of weathering would sanding a rough board to make shelves be?
Mechanical weathering, as sanding physically breaks down the rough surfaces of the board without altering its chemical composition.
Examples of Mechanical weathering?
Frost wedging & exfoliation are common terms associated with mechanical weathering.
What is mechanical wearthering?
Mechanical weathering is the process of weathering that causes disintegration in rocks but does not change the chemical compound of the rocks. Things like frost, rivers, and tree roots cause mechanical weathering. A large example of this would be the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
Is iron lawn furniture rusting outside mechanical or chemical weathering?
It would be a chemical change.
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
Would minerals dissolving in water be a form of mechanical or chemical weathering?
Chemical.
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 does not cause mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering, such as the reaction of rock with acids or oxidation, does not cause mechanical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing, abrasion, and root growth that break rocks into smaller pieces without altering their composition.
