People also weather rocks through many of their activities. To build roads, they sometimes have to blast with dynamite the large rocks along mountainsides. These rocks are broken into fragments.This is what my book said so here you go:)

Do humans contribute weathering?

Yes, humans contribute to weathering through activities such as mining, construction, and deforestation, which can accelerate the process of physical and chemical weathering. Additionally, pollution from human activities can lead to acid rain, which can further enhance chemical weathering.


The variables that most affect the weathering process are rock composition and what?

The variables that most affect the weathering process are rock composition and climate. Rock composition determines the susceptibility of a rock to weathering, while climate influences the rate and type of weathering that occurs, with factors such as temperature, precipitation, and vegetation playing key roles.


What are the 3 factors that affect weathering?

The three factors that affect weathering are mechanical weathering (physical breakdown of rocks), chemical weathering (chemical changes in rocks), and biological weathering (weathering caused by living organisms).


Is it true or false that natural weathering is usually a very slow process?

True, natural weathering is typically a slow process that occurs over long periods of time. Factors such as temperature, precipitation, and the type of rock or material being weathered can affect the speed at which weathering occurs. Overall, natural weathering is a gradual process that slowly breaks down and changes the Earth's surface.


How do humans contribute to mechanical weathering?

Humans contribute to mechanical weathering by activities such as construction, mining, and agriculture. These activities can expose rocks to physical forces like pounding, vibrations, and drilling, accelerating the process of breaking down the rocks into smaller fragments.

How do human activities affect the natural process of erosion?

Humans have no effect on wind erosion.Humans are causing global warming, which is then changing the climate. This may mean that wind direction and strength changes, which might cause more or less erosion, but that is the only way humans can affect wind erosion.
