How do you chemically change a rock?
Metamorphism will alter the chemical molecules in a rock as it cools down, Otherwise, weathering will alter old molecules and create new ones.
What is a change in matter causing a substance to change into other substances with new chemical and physical properties?
That is officially known as a chemical change. It is distinct from a physical change which does not alter a substance into a different substance.
Is fertilizing a lawn a chemical or physical change?
chemical change
What is the most important question to ask to determine whether a change is physical or chemical?
did the composition change
Chemicals can alter the composition of a substance and aid in weathering it.?
true
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What properties refer to a substance's ability to undergo changes that alter its composition and identity?
Chemical changes
What kind of weathering does not alter the chemical composition of the rock?
mechanical weathering (by wind or water or perhaps tenacious plant roots or human activities)
What happens to the atom or molecules of a substance if it melts?
Nothing. Melting is a physical change and does not alter the chemical composition of a substance.
What are Chemicals that can alter consciousness perception mood and behavior called?
Chemical substance that alter perceptions and mood are called Psychoactive Drugs.
How does weathering differ from the transporting agents of gradation?
Weathering is going to degrade or otherwise alter the nature, structure or composition of the actual insult or contaminant. Transportation mechanisms merely move the contaminant, unaltered, to other locations.
How do you alter characteristics of polymers?
Characteristics of polymers can be altered by: irradiation, treatment with oxygen or other chemicals, rising the temperature, using additives in the composition.
Describe what happened to a substance when it goes through a physical change.?
A physical change is one in which the shape, size, appearance or state, of a substance may alter, but its chemical composition remains same.
What weathering alter the internal structure of minerals by removing and or adding elements?
Chemical weathering
Does chemical weathering affect the high plains?
Yes, chemical weathering affects the high plains. The high plains are primarily composed of sedimentary rocks, which are susceptible to chemical weathering processes such as dissolution and oxidation. Over time, these processes can break down the rocks and alter their composition, leading to changes in the landscape of the high plains.
What is the process that changes the characteristics of a rock?
Weathering and erosion would alter the shape of a rock, as would the application of stress possibly combined with high(er) temperature conditions.
