What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical weathering, particularly when acidic water dissolves and erodes the rock, can create caves or caverns over time. This process is common in limestone regions where the rock is easily dissolved by carbonic acid found in rainwater.
How does mechanical weathering increase the effectiveness of chemical weathering process?
Mechanical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, increasing their surface area exposed to chemical weathering agents like water and acids. This increased surface area allows for more efficient chemical reactions to occur, accelerating the chemical weathering process. Additionally, mechanical weathering can create fractures and cracks in the rock, providing pathways for chemical weathering agents to penetrate deeper into the rock, further enhancing the weathering process.
What processes most directly helps create soil from rocks?
Weathering is the most direct process that helps create soil from rocks. Physical weathering involves breaking down rocks into smaller pieces through mechanisms like freeze-thaw cycles and abrasion. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through processes like hydration, oxidation, and dissolution, which help to further break down rocks into soil particles.
Why fractures in the rock leads to a faster weathering?
Fractures in rocks create more surface area for water, air, and other weathering agents to penetrate, allowing for increased chemical and physical weathering processes to occur. This accelerated weathering can cause the rock to break down more quickly compared to a solid, unfractured rock.
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What type of weathering forces helped create the atoll?
Chemical and physical weathering
What natural disaster does weathering create?
Weathering does not create natural disasters. Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface over time through exposure to weather conditions. Natural disasters such as landslides, sinkholes, and rockfalls can occur as a result of weakened rock formations caused by weathering.
How climate effects weathering?
Mechanical weathering refers to weathering that causes physical erosion of exposed rock without changing its chemical composition. Climate helps promote or prevent things like frost and wind that create this form of weathering.

Weathering and erosion break down rocks and slowly create?
new landforms.
How do weathering and erosion affect us?
It can create soil for crops. Hope this helped.
Which is one way that mechanical weathering influences chemical weathering?
Acids in the rain create holes in the rock, which allows water to get inside for ice wedging.
Explain how glaciation weathering and erosion create and shape valleys and floodplains?
#cmt review
When rocks break down by weathering and erosion does it slowly create oxygen for plants?
Yes, it does. ;]
How do the natural processes of weathering create the ingredients necessary for a complete soil profile?
in soil.
How do weathering and erosion affect the future of the earth?
Weathering and erosion will effect the earth's future because land forms will be changed and create new rivers, deltas, etc.
