While physical weathering will break a rock into chunks what turns the rock into soil?
chemical weathering
When does a rock have lower rate of weathering?
a rock would have a lower rate of weathering when it has more surface area exposed to weathering.
How weathering change rocks?
how does weathering change rock
Explanations of the three types of weathering?
chemical weathering is when a chemical reacts with a rock to brake down a rock.
What process does igneous rock have to go through to be formed into sediment?
The igneous rock must be exposed to weathering, whether it be chemical weathering, or mechanical weathering.
Why is rock weathering reduced in the desert?
Water causes the greatest amount of weathering, especially flowing water. Water is scarce in deserts.
What are the main form of weathering taking place in the desert?
The main form of weathering in a desert is decomposition.
Is desert pavement cause by chemical weathering?
No, desert pavement is caused by wind which is physical weathering.
Where is mechanical weathering occurred?
Mechanical weathering; as distinct from chemical weathering; occurs when the surface of a rock (say) is mechanically abraded. Such as the grits of a river wear away the bedrock. The aeolian sands in the desert will sculpt exposed rock ribs. A glacier will gouge the surface away by grinding the bedrock with boulders, stones, and grit entrained in the ice mass. This type of weathering produces vast quantities of rock flour. Much of the volume of a glacial valley has been turned into rock flour.
Which type of weathering happens in a dry desert?
onion skin weathering
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
While physical weathering will break a rock into chunks what turns the rock into soil?
chemical weathering
When does a rock have lower rate of weathering?
a rock would have a lower rate of weathering when it has more surface area exposed to weathering.
Rock formed from the fusion of weathering?
Weathering may change the rock into many shapes.
How does igneous rock changes into sedimentery rock?
By weathering either by physical or chemical weathering.
What effect does weathering have on igneous rock?
The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
Which family of rock is formed from weathering?
Clastic sedimentary rock is the usual type of rock formed from the products of rock weathering.
