What is causing the breakdown of sedimentary rocks?

The breakdown of sedimentary rocks is primarily caused by weathering processes such as physical (mechanical) weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions. Biological weathering is the breakdown of rocks by living organisms such as plants and burrowing animals.


What most likely causes rock to breakdown in the desert?

Mechanical weathering, such as thermal stress from temperature changes, and chemical weathering, like reaction with water and minerals, are common causes of rock breakdown in the desert. Additionally, wind erosion can also contribute to the breakdown of rocks in arid regions.


The chemical breakdown of enormous quantities of organic material buried in the sedimentary rocks has produced what type of gas?

The chemical breakdown of enormous quantities of organic material buried in the sedimentary rocks has produced ethane gas.


How weathering change rocks?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through processes such as physical weathering (mechanical breakdown) from forces like water and wind, and chemical weathering (chemical breakdown) from reactions with substances like water and oxygen. This breakdown ultimately changes the composition and structure of the rocks over time.
