What is one way that temperature affects mechanical weathering?
Freezing and thawing of ice which exists in small cracks and fissures in a body of rock will hasten its rate of mechanical weathering.
What are two fators that affect the rate of weathering?
the two factors are erosion and oxidation.
How does the chemical composition of rocks affect the weathering rate?
It really depends on the hardness of the rock. Soft rock, like sandstone, will weather more quickly than harder rock.
What are the possible factors that affect the rate of weathering?
cloud, sunshine, rainfall, pressure. etc.
How does depressants affect the heart rate?
depressants affect the heart rate by its heart rate
How mechanical weathering can affect the rate of chemical weathering?
I dont know :d !!
How can mechanical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?
I dont know :d !!
What factors affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
How does chemical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?
ans it affects the temperature and the conditions
If mechanical weathering breaks a rock into pieces how would it affect the rate that the rock breaks chemically?
It would increase the rate of chemical weathering due to the increase in surface area that becomes available to attack from chemical reactions.
Which area on the earth is likely to have the highest rates of weathering both mechanical and chemical?
Tropical areas experience the highest rate of mechanical and chemical weathering of rock.
Why does temperature affect the rate of chemical weathering?
A rise in temperature speeds chemical reactions.
Does chemical weathering have an effect on the rate of mechanical weathering?
nope XD yea it does my lame teacher said idk how tho
What factors affect the rate of chemical weathering?
Temperature, pressure, time
Does the rate of chemical weathering increase or stay the same when a rock becomes more mechanical weathered?
The rate of chemical weathering increases when a rock becomes more mechanically weathered, also called abrasion.
How do animals affect mechanical weathering?
Animals cause mechanical weathering by making rocks more exposed to the elements through digging, nesting, clawing, and burrowing. The additional exposure causes rocks to weather at a faster rate as ice and water can now penetrate the rock and cause chemical weathering as well.
How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate at which it weathers?
Define mechanical weathering using your own words.
