Which statue will weather more slowly a granite one or a limestone one?
Granite will weather more slowly, since it is an igneous rock and is extremely resistant to weathering.
Two identical statues are placed outside one is made of limestone the other made of granite Which statue will weather more slowly?
Since granite is an igneous rock this makes it highly resistant to weathering. Therefore, granite will weather more slowly than limestone.
What causes the rate of weathering to differ?
Weathering can break away less resistant parts of the rock and leave behind the more resistant parts.
What is more resistant to weathering metamorphic or igneous rock?
igneous
Why is igneous rock more resistant to weathering then sedimentary rocks?
cos
Why is limestone least resistant to weathering and erosion?
It is susceptible to chemical weathering more than other rocks from exposure to naturally acidic rainfall and groundwater.
Does granite or limestone last longer in normal rain?
Granite lasts longer as it is far more resistant to chemical weathering.
Which statue will weather more slowly a granite one or a limestone one?
Granite will weather more slowly, since it is an igneous rock and is extremely resistant to weathering.
Which is more resistant to weathering a rock or sand?
Rock is far more resistant to weathering (erosion) than sand.
Two identical statues are placed outside one is made of limestone the other made of granite Which statue will weather more slowly?
Since granite is an igneous rock this makes it highly resistant to weathering. Therefore, granite will weather more slowly than limestone.
Minerals resistant to chemical weathering?
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
What causes the rate of weathering to differ?
Weathering can break away less resistant parts of the rock and leave behind the more resistant parts.
What is differential weathering?
Hard rocks , such as granite, weather more slowly than softer rocks , such as limestone. Differential weathering happens when softer rocks weathers away and leaves harder, more resistant rock behind. The figures below show an example of how differential weathering can shape landscape.
Can copper withstand weathering?
Copper is sufficiently resistant but alloyed become more resistant and strong.
What is more resistant to weathering metamorphic or igneous rock?
igneous
What type of weathering is a process by which softer less weather resistant rocks are worn away leaving more weather resistant rocks exposed?
Differential weathering
Why is igneous rock more resistant to weathering then sedimentary rocks?
