What else can I help you with?
How do chemicals affect the climate?
Without chemicals there would BE no climate.
What would a framed signed and numbered print by AB Frost be worth?
Roughly £150
How would California be different if there were no California current?
The climate would be warmer. :)
What is the value of a Turner Wall Accessory of an A B Frost golf print?
The exact value of a Turner Wall Accessory of an A B Frost golf print would actually depend on a couple different things. Some of these things would include the age and condition of the print.
What conditions would be necessary for an earthquake and volcanic eruptions to occur outside these zones?
unreliable
Would frost wedging be more likely in Butte Montana or Thule Greenland?
Frost wedging would be more likely in Thule, Greenland due to its colder climate and prolonged periods of freezing temperatures. The extreme cold conditions in Greenland would promote the repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks and crevices, leading to the gradual breakdown of rock through frost wedging. Butte, Montana also experiences freezing temperatures, but the intensity and duration of cold in Thule would make frost wedging more prominent there.
Where would ice wedging occur in Pensacola Florida?
it would occur in the north of pensacola
Would frost wedging me more effective in cool high desert areas or where the subsoil is permanently frozen?
It is the feeze/thaw cycle that makes frost wedging really effective as an erosive force. Desert areas that are warm during the day and freezing at night experience more wedging than permafrost areas.
In whch area would weathering by frost wedging probably be most effective?
Weathering by frost wedging is most effective in regions with freezing and thawing cycles, typically in colder climates. Regions with temperature fluctuations that allow water to seep into cracks in rocks, freeze, expand, and then thaw can cause significant mechanical weathering through frost wedging.
Examples of Mechanical weathering?
Frost wedging & exfoliation are common terms associated with mechanical weathering.
Would ice wedging happen if water did not expand as it froze?
No, it would not. Wedging cannot occur if the solid form (ice) didn't occupy a greater volume than the liquid form.
Where on earth would physical weathering from temperature changes be least common and why?
In cold regions because ice wedging also known as frost wedging physically breaks apart rocks.Ice wedging causes cracks in rock to expand as water seeps in and freezes. So colder regions is where it is least common for physical weathering to occur from temperature changes.
Does a cold climate help mechanical weathering?
No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials. In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement. the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand
What is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means?
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means. \o/
In which climate would the chemical weathering of limestone occur most rapidly?
Chemical weathering of limestone would occur most rapidly in a warm and wet climate, where there is abundant rainfall and high temperatures to facilitate the dissolution and erosion of the limestone.
Would ice wedging be an important cause of mechanical weathering near earth equator?
Ice-wedging could never occur at the equator, for two very simple reasons. The first is that it is almost always far too hot at the equator for ice to form, due to the high insolation. The second is that even at altitudes high enough for frost to form daily at the equator (roughly above 3,000 metres or 9,800 feet) precipitation, despite declining with altitude due to the low effectiveness of convective rainfall in cool temperatures, is always adequate to prevent deep nightly freezing. At the equator, owing to the high precipitation, the snow line is no higher than the altitude of a mean annual temperature of 0˚C or 32˚F (around 4,600 metres) and ice-wedging obviously cannot occur in areas covered by glaciers.It might be noted that in arid tropical mountain (confined today to the Desert Andes) ice-wedging can occur as close to the equator as 18˚S, since the snow line is around 1,500 metres or 4,920 feet higher than it is at the equator and continuous permafrost exists on mountain tops.
Which type of climate has the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by frost action?
A cold climate with frequent freeze-thaw cycles would have the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by frost action. In these environments, water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and then thaws, causing the rocks to break apart over time.
