Physical weathering and chemical weathering?
What you're saying is that the weathering and erosion is the process of science.
What changes the surface of earth rapidly?
yes usually it is exposure to weathering i.e physical such as erosion and chemical weathering
What are two ways that rocks on the earth's surface are changed?
1) physical erosion. 2) chemical weathering.
What are the two types of weathering and erosion?
As a SIIT college student, based on what Mrs. Forcadilla taught us, the Two kinds of Weathering are Mechanical- physical forces that broken down rocks into smaller pieces. and Chemical- informed transformation of rock into non-chemical composition.
What are the agents of biological weathering?
The agents of "weathering" is both the agents of the physical and the chemical weathering combined. Agents of physical weathering can be: wind, water, sun, ice, gravity, rain, etc. Agents of chemical weathering may be: acid from roots, acid rain, oxidation/reduction (rusting), carbon dioxide, etc. They are the same because both physical and chemical weathering lead to erosion of rocks. In other words, both help rocks break down into smaller pieces. They are also the same because both physical and chemical weathering can occur with the same agent. For example, TREES. The roots of trees release acid to break down rocks (chemical weathering) while the roots of trees also grow into the cracks of rocks and help break them apart (physical weathering). Note that weathering is just the beginning process of erosion. Erosion is when stuff actually breaks down into smaller pieces.

How does physical and chemical weathering lead to the erosion and formation of rich black soil?
no
Can you say Weathering is the process of erosion or like erosion?
No. They are separate processes. Weathering -chemical and physical breaks down solid rock into smaller particles and prepares it for transportation or erosion.
What changes the surface of earth rapidly?
yes usually it is exposure to weathering i.e physical such as erosion and chemical weathering
Is erosion chemical weathering?
No. Erosion usually involves the transportation of material from one place to another place. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of natural Earth materials with acidic fluids, causing dissolution.
What type of force is weathering and erosion?
Although the terms are frequently used together, weathering and erosion are uniquely different. Weathering is the physical, chemical and biotic breakdown of a substance and erosion is how it is carried off. Ice, water and wind contribute to the erosion process.
What physical and chemical weathering changes could limestone be exposed to in the future?
erosion, acid rain...
What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering similar?
It would be easier to say how they are different. Both physical and chemical weathering can cause pitting, erosion of material and degradation of optical properties, making glass surfaces less reflective or transmissive.
Different factors that affect the shape of the Earth?
1. WEATHERING a. physical weathering/mechanical weathering b. chemical weathering 2. EROSION a. erosion by water b. erosion by wind c. erosion by ice/glaciers 3. MASS MOVEMENT a. landslide b. mudslide 4. TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT
What two natural events may cause a fossil to be altered?
Erosion and/or weathering (physical,chemical,biological).
What are two ways that rocks on the earths surface are changed?
1) physical erosion. 2) chemical weathering.
