well the acid rain will make the plants die but chemical weathering can help pastad is a yellow grainy shadow to help the sentaped weathering breaks into the soil

biological weathering , physical weathering & chemical weathering.
What are the three weathering?
the 3 types of weathering are: Chemical Weathering Biological Weathering Physical Weathering
Explanations of the three types of weathering?
chemical weathering is when a chemical reacts with a rock to brake down a rock.
What are the three main causes of weathering?
Physical, chemical and biological change are the three main causes of weathering.
Can you give one example of weathering?
I can give three : Physical, Biological and Chemical
What are the three agents of chemical weathering?
water,acids and air are all agents of chemical weathering
What are three agents of chemical weathering?
Water, Acids , and Air are all agents of chemical weathering
What are three causes of chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater.Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organisms, and acid precipitation.
Are the three types of weathering?
biological weathering , physical weathering & chemical weathering.

What are the three major categories of weathering?
-Mechanical weathering -Chemical weathering -Biological weathering
Explanations of the three types of weathering?

What are the three main causes of weathering?
Physical, chemical and biological change are the three main causes of weathering.
What are 2 agents of chemical weathering?
Well, three things that cause weathering are plant roots, ice, and physical stress.
Type of physical weathering?
Therew is only to types of weathering in my knowledge and they are Mechanical and Chemical (in scientific term). Mechanical is also know as physical.
Can you give one example of weathering?
I can give three : Physical, Biological and Chemical
How do you explain the three types of weathering?
That is something that would show up in bold print in your text book. It's not stupid. physical chemical biological Physical weathering breaks rocks down into smaller pieces. Types of physical weathering include frost wedging, exfoliation, and thermal expansion. Chemical weathering breaks rocks down chemically adding or removing chemical elements, and changes them into other materials. Chemical weathering consists of chemical reactions, most of which involve water. Types of chemical weathering include: dissolution hydrolysis oxidation Biological weathering is the breakdown of rock caused by the action of living organisms, including plants, burrowing animals, and lichen (a crusty, rubbery, light green organic material that grows in patches on rocks as well as on wood). Lichen is a combination of fungus and algae, living together in a symbiotic relationship. Lichens can live on bare rock, and they break down rocks by secreting acids and other chemicals. The fungal part of the association secretes the acids, which react to dissolve the minerals, which are then used by the algae. Later, water seeps into the crevices etched by the acid, and assists in the breakdown through freezing (frost-wedging) and chemical weathering.
