A. The Appalachian Mountains are found in the eastern United States and the Rocky Mountains are found near the west coast.
B. The shorter and more rounded Appalachian Mountains are more than four times older than the taller and more jagged Rocky Mountains.
C. The length of the Appalachian chain is approximately 2,400 kilometers, and the Rocky Mountain chain is about twice as long.
D. The Appa Mountains are composed mostly of sedimentary rocks while the Rocky Mountains also contain other rock types.
What else can I help you with?
Do landforms cause weathering?
Yes, landforms can influence the rate and type of weathering that occurs in an area. For example, mountains can experience more mechanical weathering due to freeze-thaw cycles, while coastal areas may experience more chemical weathering due to exposure to seawater. Overall, the characteristics of a landform can impact the weathering processes that occur there.
The decomposition of rock from exposure to water and atmospheric gases is known as?
Chemical Weathering
How does exposure affect rate and type of weathering?
Exposure to elements like water, wind, and temperature variations can accelerate the rate of weathering by increasing the breakdown of rocks and minerals. It can lead to different types of weathering such as physical weathering (mechanical breakdown) or chemical weathering (alteration of minerals). The more exposed a rock or mineral is, the more susceptible it is to weathering processes.
What are two exposure factors that determine rate of weathering?
Two exposure factors that determine the rate of weathering are climate (temperature and precipitation) and the type of rock or minerals being exposed to weathering processes. Climate affects the frequency and intensity of weathering agents, while the chemical and physical characteristics of rocks influence their susceptibility to weathering.
What occurs as a result of a rocks exposure to a chemical?
chemical weathering
What does chemical weathering caused by exposure to water and oxygen?
oxidation
The process by which exposure to weather breaks down rocks and minerals?
Weathering
Immediate life support coursewhat is exposure?
physical observations in CPR
What combination of process can transform a metormorphic rock to sediments?
Metamorphic rock can be transformed into sediments through the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, erosion transports these pieces to new locations, and deposition settles the sediments in layers. Over time, these sediment layers can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
Chemical weathering process due to exposure to water and oxygen is called?
RUST
Sentence for weathering?
Weathering is the process of breaking down and wearing away rocks, minerals, and soil through exposure to the elements such as wind, water, and temperature changes.
Why is limestone least resistant to weathering and erosion?
It is susceptible to chemical weathering more than other rocks from exposure to naturally acidic rainfall and groundwater.
