Which change in the climate of a location would most likely cause the greatest increase in chemical weathering of local bedrock?
greater precipitation in the summer
Which change in climate of a location would most likely cause the greatest increase in chemical weathering of local bedrock?
greater precipitation in summer
Which long-term atmospheric changes would increase the rate of chemical weathering of surface bedrock?
increasing temperature and increasing precipitation
Clay minerals formed from gabbro or diorite bedrock illustrate what kind of weathering?
Chemical Weathering.
Which factor has the greatest influence on the weathering rate of earths surface bedrock?
Regional Climate

The action of the root splitting the bedrock is an example of?
it is an example of chemical reaction/weathering and erosion!!
Which geological feature is caused primarily by chemical weathering?
large caves in limestone bedrock
Does Chemical weathering in bedrock below the land surface often begins along joints and sheeting fractures?
yes
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
How unloading acts as a weathering agent?
Unloading acts as a weathering agent by breaking bedrock into smaller pieces. This increases the surface area along which chemical reactions can occur, which eventually leads to weathering.
How is the weathering of a bare mountain peak different from the weathering of bedrock under a forest soil?
A bare mountain peak may be exposed to freeze/ thaw cycles, harsh sunlight, surface erosion by wind blown and water carried particles, and chemical weathering from acid rain. Bedrock under soil is not exposed to most weathering forces.
