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!!!!

Why isn't there much chemical weathering in Antarctica?
Antartica is a very cold place. Because chemical activities are very slow under low temperature hence chemical weathering is also not much.
Chemical substances that are very influential in the process of chemical weathering are what?
carbon dioxide and oxygen
Chemical weathering is highest in areas that are?
very warm and wet
What is the process of deep chemical weathering in humid tropical environment?
it is the process were a rock is weathered underground by chemical weathering,and because the tropic are very humid, chemical decomposition of the rock is rapid
Water is major agent of the chemical weathering because water?
.......is very polar.
Is an explosion a slow or fast chemical reaction?

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 type of chemical weathering that is evident in many of the caves in your country is?
In all limestone caves, the same as as is "evident" - by the cave's very existence - as in all the limesrtone caves and other karst features in your country - chemical weathering! (Dissolution by carbonic acid.)
