Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
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
What causes the throbbing called a pulse?
What causes the throbbing called a pulse?
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes?
Rust -Jeff
What causes chemical weatering?
Chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions in the substance, for example, when oxidation causes rusting.
What of the four types of chemical weathering do you think causes the most damage why?
oxidation does because it wears away objects
Is oxidation a chemical or mechanical weathering?
another gas found in air, carbon dioxide, also causes chemical, weathering. Carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and in water that sinks through air pockets in the soil. The result is a weak acid called carbonic acid. Carbonic acid easily weathers rocks such as marble and limestone.
What is the process that causes ground water erosion?
The process is called chemical weathering.
What type of weathering makes iron change colors?
oxidation causes iron to change color. oxidation causes rust.
How does oxygen causes chemical weathering?
iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water in a process called oxidation. the product of oxidation is rust. rock that contains iron also oxidizes, or rust. rust makes rock soft and crumbly and gives it a red or brown color.
What gas causes chemical weathering?
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
What role of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in chemical weathering?
Oxygen causes oxidation reactions; carbon dioxide with water (as carbonic acid) dissolve minerals.
What are the three main causes of weathering?
Physical, chemical and biological change are the three main causes of weathering.
What type of weathering causes a face to form on a cliff?
Chemical weathering causes a face to form on a cliff.
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rocks to change?
Chemical weathering
