Why chemical weathering would not be rapid in antarctica?
Because it's cold and dry and chemical weathering usually happens in warm and wet areas like the tropical areas
What climate is the most conducive to rapid weathering?
The climate that is the most conducive to rapid weathering are tropical climates. They will have the fastest rate of weathering.
What kind of weathering is more rapid in a warm wet climate?
chemical weathering
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by?
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by acid rain. It is a type of rainfall that is made acidic due to atmospheric pollution.
Which climate produce the most rapid chemical weathering of rock?
hot and dry
When is chemical weathering most rapid?
hot and wet
Why chemical weathering would not be rapid in antarctica?

What is the process of deep chemical weathering in humid tropical environment?
it is the process were a rock is weathered underground by chemical weathering,and because the tropic are very humid, chemical decomposition of the rock is rapid
What climate is the most conducive to rapid weathering?
The climate that is the most conducive to rapid weathering are tropical climates. They will have the fastest rate of weathering.
Chemical weathering will be most rapid in?
The Tropics.
What kind of weathering is more rapid in a warm wet climate?
chemical weathering
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by?
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by acid rain. It is a type of rainfall that is made acidic due to atmospheric pollution.
Mechanical weathering or erosion is more rapid in what type of climate?
There are many types of mechanical weathering, some due to climatic conditions, some not. Excluding non-climatic causes, mechanical weathering such as plant root growth, would be assisted by tropical conditions which encourage plant growth and root hydraulics. In desert regions, weathering is more rapid under conditions of high wind, which causes abrasion of rock surfaces. In areas that experience hot/cold alternating temperatures, frost wedging and thermal stress will contribute to rapid mechanical weathering. The type of rock being exposed to agents of mechanical weathering would also play a part in the speed at which the weathering takes place, as some rock varieties are more easily mechanically weathered than others.
Why weathering processes are more rapid in humid tropical regions than in temperate regions?
Tropical areas tend to experience more rapid weathering because large amounts of consistent rainfall and constantly warm temperatures increases the rates of chemical weathering. The high temperatures and consistent rainfall also encourage the growth of vegetation, there by promoting the wedging effect of tree roots on rocks, thus increasing the physical effect of biological weathering. These conditions also encourage the decomposition of plant matter to produce chemicals such as humic acids and carbon dioxide and these chemicals increases the rate of weathering. Humid tropical regions are also nearer to the equator so high temperatures and faster rates of chemical reaction can take place. For example, rates of carbonation on limestone can thus be sped up. On the ther hand, temperate areas have generally moderate temperatures. This means that freeze-thaw action is not important and exfoliation does not occur. The main type of weathering, just like at the humid tropics is also chemical, however, the relatively low temperatures mean that the rate of weathering is less than in the tropics.
Chemical wearthering is more rapid in what climate?
Tropical
Where do you find chemical weathering more rapid?
In warm or wet climate
What climate is the most conductive to rapid weathering?
A warm, damp(moist),place with tropical weather
