The revolution rate of Earth is approximately 365.25 days. That is why there is a 366-day Leap Year every four years.

Which factor has the greatest influence on the weathering rate of earths surface bedrock?

Regional Climate


What change would occur if earths rate or rotation increased?

An increase in Earth's rate of rotation would result in shorter days and nights. This would impact various aspects of the environment and climate, potentially affecting weather patterns, ocean currents, and ecosystems adapted to the current day-night cycle.


How can the porosity and permeability of rocks at the earths surface affect the rate of weathering?

Rocks with high porosity have more spaces for water to seep in, increasing the rate of weathering. Permeable rocks allow for water and other weathering agents to flow through easily, accelerating the breakdown of minerals. Both porosity and permeability enhance the access of weathering agents to the rock surface, speeding up the weathering process.


Does the increase of carbon dioxide accelerate or slow down the rate of chemical weathering of the earths surface rocks?

The increase of carbon dioxide accelerates the rate of chemical weathering of the Earth's surface rocks. This is because carbon dioxide dissolved in rainwater forms carbonic acid, which enhances the breakdown of minerals in rocks and speeds up chemical weathering processes.


Igneous rocks form below earths surface?

Igneous rocks form below Earth's surface from the cooling and solidification of magma. The rate of cooling determines the texture of the rock, with slower cooling leading to larger crystals. Examples of these rocks include granite and diorite.
