Which weathering process results from the removal of minerals in soil or rock by water filtering down through the soil?
exfoliation
What is the process that changes the shape of rocks?
Weathering is the process that results in the reduction of size and corresponding shape of a body of rock.
What statement is best to explain the process results in weathering?
frozen water acts as a solute
What mechanical weathering process results in enlargement of fractures and extension of them deeper into large boulders and bedrock?
Frost wedging would be the primary process. Other mechanical weathering processes resulting in the extension of rock fracturing could include pressure release from uplift, and plant root growth.
What type of weathering is represented by the dissolution of limestone in acid?
type of weathering represented by dissolution of lime stone in acid is known as chemical weathering and is mainly expirienced in coastal regions as rain water dissoves CO2 in the air forming a weak carbonic acid which then dissolves limestone in the area in the process of chemical weathering and it results in the formation of karst scenary.

The type of weathering that results in acid formation?
carbonation
Is breaking down of rocks by construction equipment called weathering?
There are several types of rock weathering: chemical (oxidation, chemical reaction to acidic fluids), mechanical (frost wedging, water hydraulics), and biological (plant root growth, burrowing by animals, plant secretions). Technically, any process that results in a diminution or reduction in rock size is classified as a weathering process. Therefore, the answer to the question would be 'yes'.
What is the name of a chemical or mechanical process in which rocks exposed to the weather are worn down by water wind or ice?
Weathering is a chemical or mechanical process that results in the creation of smaller and smaller units of rock.
What causes biochemical weathering?
Results from the actions of plants and animals.
How do you remove Google safe search?
You can select wich level of filtering is applied to your search results by clicking the SafeSearch drop down or by opening up your search settings. From there, you can select strict, moderate, or no filtering or your results. Kelly F
What forms as the results of weathering?
it depends on what you mean by that. Well, what forms as the result of weathering could be tornados, tsunamias, dust devils, etc.
