Earthquakes are the result of physical changes. As the tectonic plates located At Fault lines grind past each other, tension is released in an elastic rebound and an earthquake occurs.

What type of change would slow the chemical weatheringof soil?

A decrease in temperature would slow chemical weathering of soil by slowing down the chemical reactions that break down rocks and minerals into smaller particles. Lower temperatures limit the speed at which water and chemicals can react with the soil components.


Is fertilizing your garden a chemical change?

No, that is just a mixture. You are simply mixing nutrients in with the soil. The soil does not change chemically. You still have dirt and fertilizer. An example of a chemical change would be when you mix baking soda and vinegar. You no longer have either one if you mixed them equally, but you end up with carbon dioxide gas and sodium acetate in water. Now, chemical changes do happen inside of plants as they use the nutrients as fuel and creating cells.

What type of change would slow the chemical weathering of the soil?

Decreasing the surface area of the rock or increasing the pH level of the soil would slow the chemical weathering process. Additionally, reducing the presence of water or lowering the temperature can also slow down chemical weathering.
