Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
Clay minerals silica and dissolved potassium bicarbonate in the soil water are products of which process?
chemical weathering of orthoclase feldspar
Which process usually requires water for weathering?
Chemical weathering
What is the process of deep chemical weathering in humid tropical environment?
it is the process were a rock is weathered underground by chemical weathering,and because the tropic are very humid, chemical decomposition of the rock is rapid
What slows down chemical weathering-?
A lack of moisture is something that can slow the process of chemical weathering. Low temperatures can slow it as well.
Is carbon dioxide mechanical?
Carbon dioxide is a chemical process of weathering.
Chemical substances that are very influential in the process of chemical weathering are what?
carbon dioxide and oxygen
Is feldspar mixing with acidic groundwater and producing clay minerals chemical or weathering?
This is a chemical process.
What chemical weathering process occurs when minerals in the rock react with carbon dioxide?
Carbonation. Minerals combine chemically with H2CO3 and form a new product called...Carbonation. Which happens inside the rock :)
What occurs during the weathering process?
There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.
Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
What is chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is the phenomenon which contributes to the destroying of rocks with chemical agents; the chemicals may be natural or man made.Examples are water, carbon dioxide, organic acids, acid rains etc.
When minerals in the rock react with carbonic acid what chemical weathering process occurs?
Dissolution occurs.
Acid rain breaks down rocks by reacting with their minerals. This process is an example of?
chemical weathering
Is oxidation of iron an important chemical weathering process for ferromagnesian silicate minerals like olivine and biotite?
yes
What is weathearing?
weathering is a process of disintegration of rock or minerals due to physical, chemical, biological action in the surrounding atmosphere.
Is chemical weathering a physical process?
No, it is a chemical process.
