What else can I help you with?
Why does acid precipitation weather rock faster than normal precipitation does?
Acid precipitation weather rocks faster than normal precipitation because acid precipitation has a higher concentration of acid than normal precipitation.
Why does acid precipitation weather rocks at faster rate than normal precipitation dose?
Acid precipitation, such as acid rain, contains higher levels of sulfuric and nitric acids, which are more reactive than the carbonic acid found in normal precipitation. These acids can react with minerals in rocks, particularly calcium carbonate, leading to chemical weathering processes like dissolution and hydrolysis at a faster rate. This accelerated weathering can result in the breakdown of rock minerals and the erosion of rock surfaces more quickly than with normal precipitation.
What rocks weathers the slowest?
Granite.
What type of glacier weathers rocks by plucking?
Valleyglaciers:)
Where do rocks come form?
Nearly all rocks had their beginning as magma - molten rock. This forms igneous rock that weathers to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rock may be changed by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rock. The exception is limestone which is formed by chemical precipitation or from fossils.
What weathers and transports rocks?
Water, rain. Also wind.
How acid rain weathers rock?
It lands on the rocks and dissolves them.
Why does frost wedging weathers rocks?
Frost wedging weathers rocks because water expands when it freezes, causing cracks to widen and break apart the rock over time. As water seeps into cracks in the rock and freezes, the growing ice crystals create stress and pressure that eventually breaks the rock apart.
What weathers rocks?
Rocks can be weathered by the wind or rain, or if water gets in some of the cracks, it would break apart
The sun weathers rocks by?
pie with a mixture of shaving cream and a pinch of sugar.
Rocks that is permeable weathers easily because it is?
Rocks that are permeable can easily absorb water, which can cause them to weather more easily through processes like freezing and thawing, or chemical reactions with the water. This can lead to the breakdown of the rock material and cause it to deteriorate faster compared to impermeable rocks.
What does acid rain do to rocks and buildings?
It chemically weathers them, slowly dissolving their outer surfaces.
