Is moss chemical or mechanical weathering?
Moss is biological weathering, actually, because it involves a plant.
What do mechanical and chemical weathering have in common?
What mechanical and chemical weathering have in common is they both break rocks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the weathered rock will be eroded.
Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
Does salt on a sidewalk cause mechanical or chemical weathering to the sidewalk?
Chemical, the sodium in the salt exchanges with calcium in the concrete. The chemical products are all water soluble and the surface of the sidewalk washes away.
Why is physical weathering also known as mechanical weathering?
Physical weathering is caused by elements of nature. It is known as mechanical weathering to distinguish it from the other types of weathering namely chemical and biological. It occurs mechanically, by the breakdown due to natural components.
What contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering includes abrading or crushing. Chemical weathering includes dissolution in water or acid rain. Oxidation and reduction reactions can also cause chemical weathering.
.Is it possible for any of the earth material scenes to be affected by both mechanical and chemical weathering If so describe the scene and situations.?
Biological effects on mechanical weathering. Living organisms may contribute to mechanical weathering, as well as chemical weathering.
Is abrasion chemical or mechanical weathering?
Abrasion is Mechanical Weathering.
