What type of climate has the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by rock weathering?
A wet climate in which temperatures alternate between below freezing and to above freezing.
Which type of climate has the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by frost action?
a wet climate in which temp alternates between freezing and not freezing
What type of climate has the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by frost action?
A wet climate in which temperatures alternate between below freezing and to above freezing.
How do chemical and physical weathering work together to break down rock material?
well physical weathering is when it breaks down rocks and chemical weathering is when rocks are dissolved or loosened so i suppose that it would be that over a certain amount of time goes by, the more weathering occurs. i hope that answers your question! (:
What Chemical compound is used in greatest amount by global economy with little or no preprocessing?
Water

Why is rock weathering reduced in the desert?
Water causes the greatest amount of weathering, especially flowing water. Water is scarce in deserts.
Would weathering affect a marble sculpture inside a museum?
If the marble sculpture is not in a climate controlled environment, it would be affected by a limited amount of weathering, yes.
How do physical and chemical weather combine to weather rocks?
well physical weathering is when it breaks down rocks and chemical weathering is when rocks are dissolved or loosened so i suppose that it would be that over a certain amount of time goes by, the more weathering occurs. i hope that answers your question! (:
Why rock is weathering reduced in deserts?
moisture is lacking and organic acids are scarce
Can a rock be dissolved?
Naturally speaking, the rate at which limestone dissolves depends on the amount of rainfall and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the water. Chemical weathering is the process that breaks down rock through chemical changes. The most common agents of chemical weathering include water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and living organisms. Chemical weathering creates holes or soft spots in rock, so the rock breaks apart more easily. Chemical and mechanical weathering often goes hand in hand; mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces, exposing more surface area to chemical weathering. It someone wants to dissolve a rock manually, Hydrofluoric acid is the answer.

The greatest amount of ATP is produced as a result of which chemical reaction?
Oxidative Phosphorylation
How does weather cause physical and chemical weathering?
There are a number of contributing factors. The major one is rain. Rain loosens a rock's grip on the rest of the rock. If there is a major amount of rain over a short period of time, major erosion problems are possible. Another is just the weather. If the rock is in a climate sensitive environment, the years of hot to cold to hot to cold just wear the rock down.
