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.


Why is erosion easier to see than weathering?

because erosion is the carrying away of rocks and stuff, and weathering is the wearing away or breaking down of rocks and other stuff. so you can see the rocks that got carried away from their original spot but its kind of hard to see the breaking down of rocks. hope that helps!


How does physical weathering cause chemical weathering to be more effective?

by helping each other by breaking down the minerals


What forms of mechanical and chemical weathering would be most common in a desert and why?

It actually isn't most common in a dessert it is most common in warm moist areas, and the dessert isn't, its hot and dry but onion skin can acure in a dessert. Limestone has the mineral calcite in it and calcite reacts with acid rain so limestone dissolves easier, but limestone dissolves better in a cold wet climate instead of warm. Onion skin is the physical/mechanical weathering that acures the most in the dessert, because they have hot days and cold nights and if this process keeps going day and night the layers on the rock will peel off like an onion, and then it get transported by the weather to make a new rock.


Why is it easier to divert microwaves around an object then to divert light waves?

actually microwaves are easier to bend than light waves because microwaves are larger than light waves

Why is weathering called the preparation for erosion?

Weathering starts the process of erosion. Once material has been weathered down, it is easier for it to erode away with water, wind, and people moving on it.


What occurs during the weathering process?

There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.

Does falling leaves cause erosion?

No but as they rot they do release acids which chemically weather the underlying rocks which makes the erosion process easier.

How does physical weathering make the job easier for chemical weathering?

Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.


How do humans affect erosion by logging?

Human beings may cause erosion by activities such as farming or games. They may also cause erosion by cutting down trees and other vegetation that act as windbreakers.


What things in nature cause weathering?

The climate or the weather causes weathering. If you mean seeds, then ice, rain, snow, foot traffic, and stomach acid of animals weather the seeds. In turn, it makes sprouting easier. If you mean erosion in general, then ice, rain, melting snow, wind, human or animal traffic, avalanches, and underground aquifers could all be contributing factors.

Is big buttock woman easier to give birth?

It is not necessarily easier for a woman with large buttocks to give birth. Sometimes the size of the pelvis is not related to the size of the buttocks and it is actually the pelvic area that impedes the birth process.
