What else can I help you with?
What rock is not affected by acid rain?
granite and gabbro
What type of weathering causes acid rain?
Chemical weathering causes acid rain. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere from human activities, they combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the earth's surface as acid rain.
Can you show one sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly affected by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Acid rain can dissolve the calcium carbonate in limestone, leading to erosion and weathering of the rock. As a result, limestone formations such as caves and cliffs can be significantly impacted by acid rain over time.
Which type or types of weathering is cause by acidic rain?
Acid rain primarily causes chemical weathering, specifically the process of dissolution where acidic water dissolves minerals from rocks. This can lead to the deterioration and weakening of the rock structure over time.
What effect does acid rain have on rocks?
Carbonic acid is the result of carbon dioxide dissolved in water, When carbonic acid is added to a rock and it bubbles, the rock is a carbonate.
Why is acid rain harmful to rocks?
it causes chemical weathering that breaks down the minerals of the rock
What are the causes of chemical wethering?
Chemical weathering is caused by acid rain. The acid rain will eat away at the rock causing it to erode. This is one of the many forms of chemical weathering.
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
What does Acid rain cause in rock?
If the rock is a limestone it will react with it chemically.
How does acid rain damage rock or stone?
Acid rain can damage rock or stone by dissolving the minerals that hold the rock or stone together, leading to erosion and weakening of the material. Over time, the surface of the rock or stone can become pitted and rough due to the chemical reactions with the acid in the rain.
How can acid rain cause erosion?
The harmful gases produced from use rise and produce acid rain, the rain then falls. When the acid rain touches the rock it starts to break down the molecules in the rock, causing cracks to appear, leading to bits falling of. This called eroding of the rock.
Is rain and acid a rock chemical?
An acid rain contain acids as HNO3, H2SO4, HCl.
What rock will buffer the effects of acid rain?
Limestone.
What are the effect on acid rain?
Melting of rock or erosion
What type of rock is affected by acid rain?
limescale
How does acid rain weather rocks?
Acid rain is corrosive and reacts with the minerals in the rocks, sometimes dissolving them and sometimes making them change into a gas. This weakens the rocks which then fall apart and get washed away.
Example of a physical rather than a chemical change?
when a rock is erodded by wind or waves is a physical change where acid rain eroding a stone figure would be chemical
