Is the wedging tree roots along natural joints in granite a chemical or mechanical?
chemical weathering
Does Chemical weathering in bedrock below the land surface often begins along joints and sheeting fractures?
yes
Which of these would be indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
What pathway in the rock cycle might rock take next if it is subjected to uplift?
It will start to experience chemical and mechanical weathering, along with erosion.
What type of weathering do you see in florida?
I looking at this for hw right now and I'm currently on physical weathering. I have found things such as weathering of sand and rocks along the coast lines due to salt crystallization. Rocks in the ocean are smoothed out and crushed by the constant motion of the ocean. And cliff sides are deteriorated and smoothed out in pieces by waves slamming against them.
Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
Is the wedging tree roots along natural joints in granite a chemical or mechanical?
chemical weathering
Is a type of weathering caused by chemical reaction with water?
yes, liquid water is a unit of chemical weathering. ice is a unit of physical weathering.
Is the lifted section of sidewalk along tree lined streets mechanical or chemical weathering?
Mechanicle
Chemical weathering is probably faster along the Amazon River then in the Himalayas true or false?
TRUE!
Which type of weathering occurs along ocean cliffs?
The type of weathering that occurs along ocean cliffs is mainly mechanical weathering, caused by processes such as waves crashing against the rocks, causing them to break apart and erode over time. Chemical weathering can also occur due to the saltwater and other chemical reactions taking place along the cliff face.
How unloading acts as a weathering agent?
Unloading acts as a weathering agent by breaking bedrock into smaller pieces. This increases the surface area along which chemical reactions can occur, which eventually leads to weathering.
Is chemical weathering faster along the Amazon river than the Himalayas?
Yes that would make sense as there is a great deal of vegetation along the Amazon as opposed to any place in the Himalaya's. and plants are responsible for creating many of the chemicals that result in chemical weathering.
How forest fire speed up the weathering?
Fire is like accelerated insolation weathering. As the rock heats, it expands, causing tensional jointing. When it cools, the rock can fracture and break along expansion joints, spaling (breaking) off,
Does Chemical weathering in bedrock below the land surface often begins along joints and sheeting fractures?
yes
