Water seeping into the joints or seams of a rock and then freezing can weather the rock. This is an example of what type of weathering?
I'm pretty sure it's chemical weathering!
What else can I help you with?
What are the two causes of weathering?
The two main causes of weathering are physical weathering, which includes processes like freezing and thawing or abrasion, and chemical weathering, which involves the decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions with water, oxygen, or acids.
How is the freezing and thawing of water a part of the weathering process?
When water freezes, it expands, exerting pressure on the rocks it surrounds. This repeated freezing and thawing action can cause rocks to break apart, a process known as frost wedging. This physical weathering contributes to the breakdown of rocks over time.
What kind of weathering creates potholes?
Freeze-thaw weathering is a common process that creates potholes. Water seeps into cracks in the road, freezes during cold weather, expands, and weakens the pavement material. This cycle of freezing and thawing causes the road surface to break up, leading to the formation of potholes.
Which weather process involves the constant freezing and thawing of water?
The weather process that involves the constant freezing and thawing of water is called freeze-thaw cycles. This process occurs when water enters cracks in rocks or soil, freezes, expands, and then thaws. The repeated cycle weakens the rock material, leading to erosion and weathering.
How do people weather rocks?
People weather rocks mainly by using them to create products for consumption by other humans. All types of mining involve the human weathering of rocks through applied physical or mechanization forces.
How are shifting sand dunes an example of physical weathering?
because its an chemical weather
What isforecasting and weathering?
forcasting is predicting the weather. Weathering is tempering the weather
What is weathering kinds of weather?
Physical weathering
How the mechanical weathering is related to the weathering?
mechanical weathering applys weather
What are the main causes of weathering?
Freezing weather, dramatic changes in temperature, the roots of trees or plants searching for nutrients in the ground therefore breaking it apart, etc.
What are three ways that the climate factors of temperature and moisture affect rate of weathering?
The more severe the weather is, the more weathering will occur. Hot temperatures make things erode faster because of humidity while freezing will preserve them.
What are the two causes of weathering?
The two main causes of weathering are physical weathering, which includes processes like freezing and thawing or abrasion, and chemical weathering, which involves the decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions with water, oxygen, or acids.
What are the main causes of mechanical weathering?
Freezing weather, dramatic changes in temperature, the roots of trees or plants searching for nutrients in the ground therefore breaking it apart, etc.
What are examples of chemical weathering by oxygen?
I am a student and currently studying weathering, an example is Iron-containing minerals like magnetite, can weather to from a rust-like material called limonite.

Is freeze an adjective?
No- it is a verb. "Will the pipes freeze?" It can be used as a noun "I remember back in the big freeze of 1995, it got SO cold..." An adjective modifies a noun. FREEZING could be used as an adjective "The freezing weather caused electricity use to skyrocket."
Is 'frozen weather' or 'freezing weather' correct?
I'm pretty sure it's freezing weather such as "This is freezing weather!" because I don't think that "This weather is frozen!" would work. lol Thanks!
