What does pysical weathering mean?
physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller fragments or pieces.
What is weathered water?
It is when you put a sugar cube in water it dissolves.
What occurs when water seeps into the cracks of rocks and then freezes?
Water expands when it freezes, therefore it tends to cause the rocks to crack (or perhaps I should say, it causes existing cracks to get larger, leading to the disintegration of the rock).
What are rocks in the sea called?
the rocks are called irone
What rocks are also called fiery rocks?
Igneous rocks
What does pysics mean?
physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller fragments or pieces.
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of what?
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of mechanical weathering. It refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks.
What does pysical weathering mean?
physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller fragments or pieces.
What does weathering cause?
weathering results in the disintegration of rocks on a large scale. then these rocks break-up and forms soil and the soil forms the soil profile.
What is the name for tree roots forming out of rocks?
Biological weathering; Its a type of weathering which involves the breaking apart and disintegration of rocks throught the process of tree roots out growth or development by opening of cracks, joints and faults in rocks.
Spleen can be called as?
spleen can be called as the graveyard of the RBC because the RBC undergo disintegration in the spleen
What is it when naturally unstable elements realize particles?
This phenomenon is called radioactive disintegration.
The rate at which radioactive isotopes emit energy called?
This the decay (disintegration) rate.
What involves ways that rocks break down without changes to?
Weathering involves ways that rocks break down without changes to their chemical state. Weathering involves mechanical forces e.g. wind and rainfall rather than chemical energy in disintegration or rocks.
What is weathered water?
It is when you put a sugar cube in water it dissolves.
What are the sources of heat that helps metemorphic rocks form?
Frictional heat, radioactive disintegration/decay, magmatic heat, geothermal gradient, load-pressure effect.
When was The Disintegration Loops created?
The Disintegration Loops was created in 1982.
