Would weathering affect a marble sculpture inside a museum?
If the marble sculpture is not in a climate controlled environment, it would be affected by a limited amount of weathering, yes.
What are 6 examples of mechanical weathering?
Hitting something with something else would count. Thats not a very good answers, but its right.
What is the most interesting formation on earth?
This is subjective. An interesting formation to some may not be so for others. One candidate would be large waterfalls. (Another could be high mountain peaks ... or the valleys below.)
What would happen to the weather on the coast of California if the California current stopped flowing?
the weather would rapidly. One day it could be really hot, and the next it could be snowing. These weather changes are life threating.
Is the door jam a safe place during an earthquake?
no i don't think so. the safest place would be a basement
How does type of weathering contribute to soil formation?
The type of weatheirng contributes to soil formation because if it is mecahnical weathering by force, then it will come out differentally than chemicalw eathering if it is by chemical composition. THere would be differences by the weathering depending on where the rock is.
In which climate would the chemical weathering of limestone occur most rapidly?
Warm and humid
What type of weathering causes the formation of an underground cave?
This would usually be caused by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestones. Dissolution is a chemical weathering process.
How would a hill change after many years of weathering?
It could cause landslides and create the formation of new landforms.
How does groundwater cause chemical weathering?
Groundwater causes chemical weathering by speeding reactions between reactive materials. Typical would be an oxidizing reaction, such as the formation of rust in rocks containing iron, or the dissolution of limestone by carbonic acid.
Would you find potholes caused by weathering in trooical regions?
Yes, potholes can be caused by weathering in tropical regions. Weathering processes such as rainfall, high temperatures, and humidity can contribute to the deterioration of roads and create potholes over time. The combination of heavy rainfall and intense sunlight can accelerate the weathering process and lead to the formation of potholes in tropical regions.
Is it possible to have erosion without weathering?
weathering happens before erosion because when a storm comes it washes away the soil and that causes the soil to erode.
What is the first process that occurs in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Although sedimentary rocks form in a variety of processes, the first process that would occur in the formation of the most common sedimentary rocks would be that of weathering, which is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces through chemical or mechanical means by nature.
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
What type of weathering would sanding a rough board to make shelves be?
chemical weathering
In what locations would you expect to find chemical weathering instead of mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering is prevalent in tropical climates.
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.
