How wind affect weathering?

Answer 1

Temperature•Thermal stress

Thermal stress weathering happens because of expansion or contraction of rock, caused by temperature changes. Termal stress weathering is an important system in deserts, where there is a large day temperature range, hot in the day and cold at night. The repeated heating and cooling applies stress on the outer layers of rocks, which can cause their outer layers to peel off in thin sheets.

Water•Freeze-Thaw Weathering

Freeze-Thaw weathering is when water from rainfall or melting snow and ice becomes trapped in a crack or joint in the rock. If the air temperature drops below freezing, the water will freeze and expand by 9 -- 10% putting pressure on the rock. When the temperature rises above freezing the ice will melt. If this process happens repeatedly, the rock will weaken and eventually shatter into sharp fragments.

Answer 2

Strong winds-this blow or carry the rocks,so as you see this rocks bumps to each other which scratches the surface of a rock.

Water-as you observe that waters have waves so if there is a rock there the wave will bump it to be smaller.If it is in the water you would notice that the waters moves so if there is a rock inside a water they would bump to each other repeatedly which makes the rocks smaller.

Sun-the heat of the sun causes it by means of expanding and contracting of rocks

Answer 3

Sun makes rock to expnd when temp is high, as it cools down reduced the rock. the continous expansion and reduction weakens the rock and weather it. this is called thermal expansion

Water and wind are tranport agent not weathering process. but one would assume that wind in arid area will wear rock surface exposing it to more chemical process of weathering. this is thesame with water. If you used the word frozen water then you can say frost wedging cause a crack in rock and ice expand and reduce back to water increase the surface area and make it more successible for chemical weathering to affect that crack already made by physical weathering

Answer 4

Wind can physically weather rocks by carrying abrasive particles that erode surfaces through a process called abrasion. Wind can also transport fine particles like sand or dust, which can chemically weather rocks by reacting with their surfaces. Over time, these processes can break down rocks and contribute to the overall weathering of an area.

how can the wind and waves affect the weathering of the land
