Weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller pieces by various chemical, biological, and physical processes. The two main types of weathering are mechanical (physical breakdown of rocks) and chemical (chemical alteration of rocks). A real life application of weathering is the formation of caves through the dissolution of limestone by acidic groundwater.
What else can I help you with?
Blank is a type of weathering where rock is dissolved by an acid.?
Chemical weathering
Is it true or false that Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a material's size or shape is changed.?
False. Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which the physical properties of a material are altered without changing its chemical composition. This can include changes in size, shape, or texture.
What type of weathering is oxidation?
Oxidation is a type of chemical weathering where minerals in rocks react with oxygen to form new minerals. It typically leads to the rusting of iron-bearing minerals in rocks.
What type of weathering is abrasion?
Abrasion is a type of physical weathering where rocks and particles are mechanically worn down or eroded by friction caused by the impact of other materials. It commonly occurs in environments with high wind velocities, moving water, or ice.
Root pry is an example of this type of weathering.?
It is an example of mechanical or more specifically biomechanical weathering.
