Why does calcite weather faster then quartz?
It's mechanically softer and it is soluble in rain-water.
In what environment will rock weather faster?
rocks weather faster in polluted cities
Which would weather faster olivine or quartz?
Olivine would weather faster than quartz
How is sandstone affected by the weather?
Because sandstone is a sedimentary rock and is made of calcite, the rain weathers most rapidly.
Why do sandstones cemented with calcite usually weather much more rapidly than sandstone cemented by silica?
The cementing mineral calcite is not resistant to chemical dissolution by naturally acidic rainwater as is the cementing silicate mineral.

What types of rock does carbonic acid weather easily?
calcite
What does calcite weather to form during dissolution?
carbonic acid

Because sandstone is a sedimentary rock and is made of calcite, the rain weathers most rapidly.
Which do you think will weather at a faster rate sandstone or grantie?
sandstone will weather faster because it is softer than granite.
Why do sandstones cemented with calcite usually weather much more rapidly than sandstone cemented by silica?
The cementing mineral calcite is not resistant to chemical dissolution by naturally acidic rainwater as is the cementing silicate mineral.
Which weathers faster granite or marble?
Marble will weather more quickly. The mineral calcite, of which marble is composed is softer and less resistant to abrasion than granite. It is also more susceptible to chemical weathering via natural and man-caused acidic rainfall due to its chemical composition. Granite--not so susceptible.
Why do plants grow faster in warm wet weather?
because there it is not a freezing weather
Why do the rocks at the peak of a mountain weather faster than the rocks at the bottom of the mountain?
Why do the rocks at the top of a moutain peak weather faster the ones at the bottom
Does hair grow faster in warm weather?
