What 2 agents of weathering would be rare in a desert?

Chemical weathering agents like acid rain and biological weathering agents like plant roots would be rare in deserts due to the lack of moisture needed for these processes to occur effectively. Instead, physical weathering agents like wind and temperature fluctuations are more common in desert environments.


How does rhyolite resist weathering?

Rhyolite resists weathering due to its composition, which is rich in silica and low in calcium, magnesium, and iron. Silica-rich minerals in rhyolite, like quartz and feldspar, are resistant to chemical weathering processes. Additionally, the fine-grained texture of rhyolite can inhibit the penetration of water and other weathering agents.


What kind of weathering is a sinkhole?

It is Carbolican weathering, not many people have heard of it but that is what it is called. Carbolican weathering is a rare kind of weathering that can be deadly, like sinkholes. Since not many people have heard of this weathering no one has come up with an explanation for when and why sinkholes will appear. This is very sad but true. As many fatal appearances happen we still try to figure out how to stop these sinkholes before they start.


Why freezing and thawing and water erosion be rare in a desert?

Freezing and thawing are rare in deserts because the temperatures typically do not fluctuate enough to cause water to freeze and expand. Water erosion is also rare in deserts because there is limited water available to cause significant erosion processes, such as runoff and sediment transport.


If you are visiting Arizona would you most likely see a cape a desert or a icecap?

Arizona is known for its dry weather and land. Therefore, you would not see icecaps, but deserts, and it is not located near any ocean or any forms of water.If you were standing at the tip of South Africa, you mould most likely see a cape.If you were standing in Libya, you would most likely see a desert.If you were standing on the continent of Antarctica, you would most likely see an icecap.

Why is the desert an area of slow weathering?

The greatest agent of erosion is water which is rare in the desert except during the brief rainy season. Therefore, water erosion in the desert is much slower than in areas with more rainfall.

Can chemical weathering occurs faster in deserts than in rainforests?

Yes, but very little in relation to wetter areas. Most weathering in deserts is due to mechanical weathering processes, such as plant root growth, frost heaving, and most importantly, abrasion from windblown particles.
