What else can I help you with?
What is an example of chemical weathering?
Acid rain changing granite into clay minerals and Quartz grainsAcid rain is very corrosive, and will hasten the breakdown of any type of rock.
How fast were the waves going in japan's tsunami?
Very very fast
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
What are 6 examples of mechanical weathering?
Hitting something with something else would count. Thats not a very good answers, but its right.
What does turbo mean?
Turbo is meaning for fast. Like my dog's name is Turbo, and he is very fast!!!!
Does chemical weathering happen fast?
Yes, it happens very fast.
Is a landslide slower than weathering?
Landslides are very fast. Weathering is slow.
Chemical substances that are very influential in the process of chemical weathering are what?
carbon dioxide and oxygen
Does weathering occur quickly or slowly?
Weathering can happen at varying rates depending on factors such as the type of rock or minerals involved, the climate, and the presence of biological activity. In general, the process of weathering is slow and occurs over long periods of time. However, some types of weathering, like chemical weathering in tropical environments or physical weathering in areas with freeze-thaw cycles, can be more rapid.
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
What is a component of granite that is not susceptible to chemical weathering?
Quartz is a component of granite that is not susceptible to chemical weathering. Quartz is a very durable mineral that can resist the chemical breakdown caused by exposure to elements like water and air.
Why isn't there much chemical weathering in Antarctica?
There isn't much chemical weathering in Antarctica because the continent experiences extremely low temperatures, which slow down chemical reactions. Additionally, the ice cover reduces the availability of liquid water needed for chemical reactions to occur. The lack of vegetation and organic matter also limits the production of acids that aid in chemical weathering processes.
Chemical weathering is highest in areas that are?
warm and humid, as water and heat accelerate the breakdown of rocks and minerals by chemical reactions.
Is quartz affected by chemical weathering?
Yes, quartz is relatively resistant to chemical weathering because it is composed of silica, which is a very stable mineral. However, prolonged exposure to certain acids or alkaline substances can slowly dissolve quartz over time.
Why does compression happen?
Sound waves move very fast
What climate conditions would produce very slight weathering?
A dry climate with minimal rainfall and low humidity would produce very slight weathering. This is because water is a key driver of weathering processes, and a lack of water limits the chemical reactions and physical breakdown of rocks over time.
Is weathering a fast or slow process?
Weathering is generally a slow process that occurs over time as a result of exposure to natural elements such as water, wind, and temperature changes. The rate of weathering can vary depending on factors such as the type of rock or material being weathered, the climate, and the amount of exposure to weathering agents.
