How does heat and cold cause weathering?
Heat causes expansion of rocks, leading to stress and eventual breakdown due to thermal fatigue. Cold temperatures can cause rocks to contract, leading to cracking and weakening of their structure over time. This constant expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations can accelerate the weathering process.
Which of the following is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering?
Temperature changes, such as freezing and thawing, is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering.
What of these does not cause physical weathering?
Chemical weathering does not cause physical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while physical weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
What are three related forces that cause weathering?
Three related forces that cause weathering are physical weathering (such as freeze-thaw cycles and abrasion), chemical weathering (such as oxidation and hydrolysis), and biological weathering (such as root growth and burrowing animals breaking down rocks).
Are humans the main cause of weathering?
No, humans are not the main cause of weathering. Weathering is predominantly caused by natural processes such as erosion, temperature changes, and biological activity. However, human activities such as deforestation and construction can accelerate the rate of weathering in certain areas.
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.

Does ice cause weathering?
Yes, mechanical weathering.
What most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
What is most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
How can biological weathering cause problems?
Weathering of any kind can sometimes cause problems, like erosion of topsoil. Biological weathering, where the weathering is caused by living things (plants and animals), can cause the same kinds of problems.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
How does a tornado affect weathering?
Tornadoes do not cause significant weathering, though they can cause localized soil erosion.
True or false do plants and amimals can cause weathering?
ture or false do plants and amimals can cause weathering
Why does heat speed up chemical reactions but weathering is ususlly slowest in the desert?
Weathering depends on temperature, moisture, microbes, wood eating insects, and wind. By removing moisture, microbes and wood eating insects can not live. Only windblown sand can cause weathering.
What two things can cause rocks to transform?
The two things that encourage rocks to transform is heat and pressure. The transformation and weathering of rocks will vary depending on the level of pressure and intensity of heat.
