What else can I help you with?
The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes and nbsp?
what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
Why can heating and cooling lead to weathering?
things expand when heated and contract when cooled. This seasaw action creates cracks and weakness in structures/landforms and causes weathering.
What causes all types of rocks to be exposed to weathering and erosion?
Uplift caused by tectonic movement
They contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
A type of chemical weathering in which minerals react with dissolved oxygen in water is known as?
Physical weathering is a type of weathering in which minerals react with dissolved oxygen in water. This causes chemical changes to take place in the minerals.
What are causes of weathering called?
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.
What type of weathering causes rust?
It is called Oxydation
The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
Which type of weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks of rocks and freezes?
It is a form of weathering known as frost wedging.
Why is rock weathering reduced in the desert?
Water causes the greatest amount of weathering, especially flowing water. Water is scarce in deserts.
What type of weather is water weathers?
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
Is frost action mechanical or chemical weathering?
Frost action is a type of mechanical weathering. It occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart.
Which type of weathering does requires the presence of water?
Sunlight and wind can cause weathering.
Which type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountainous regions?
Frost wedging is the most common type of mechanical weathering in mountainous regions, where repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks and crevices causes rocks to split and break apart.
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What type of climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate?
A cold and freeze-thaw climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate. The expansion of water as it freezes and thaws can break apart rock and mineral structures, leading to increased rates of mechanical weathering in these conditions.
