Weathering is the gradual erosion of rock and soil from rain and wind, and to a lesser extent from the chemical changes induced by solar ultraviolet exposure, and the diurnal thermal expansion and contraction, the day/night mechanical wear from heating and cooling. It occurs constantly.

What are four different type of weathering that can happen without the present of water?
Four types of weathering that can occur without water include mechanical weathering caused by temperature changes, chemical weathering due to oxygen in the air, biological weathering from plant roots and burrowing animals, and physical weathering caused by wind abrasion.
What are some ways weathering can happen?
Weathering can happen through physical processes such as freeze-thaw cycles breaking down rocks, chemical processes like acid rain dissolving minerals, and biological processes where plant roots pry apart rocks. Additionally, abrasion from wind and water can contribute to weathering by wearing away rock surfaces over time.
Why does weathering and erosion happen?
Weathering and erosion happen due to the processes of physical, chemical, and biological breakdown of rocks and soil. Weathering breaks down rocks through exposure to elements like water, wind, and temperature changes, while erosion involves the transport of the weathered material by forces like water, wind, and glaciers. These processes shape the Earth's surface over time by wearing down and moving particles from one place to another.
How long does it take weathering to happen?
Weathering can occur over both short and long time scales, from a few days to thousands of years, depending on factors such as the type of rock or material being weathered, climate conditions, and the presence of vegetation or water. Chemical weathering can be a slow process, whereas physical weathering can happen more rapidly in response to factors like temperature changes and mechanical stress.
Do weathering and erosion happen at the same time?
Weathering and erosion are related processes that often occur simultaneously. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to a different location. Both processes work together to shape the Earth's surface over time.
Why does chemical weathering happen more when its hot?
why does chemical weathering happen?
What type of weathering does not happen in the desert?
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
Where did ice weathering happen?
SOMEWHERE
When will the next landforms happen?
the next landform that will happen? the next landform that will happen is by weathering
Why does chemical weathering happen slowly?
All weathering is slow because rocks are pretty solid.
Can erosion and weathering happen any time?
Yes
What would happen to rocks without air?
they get dryno weathering
Does chemical weathering happen fast?
Yes, it happens very fast.
On what part of the earths surface does weathering happen at a faster rate?
yes
What are four different type of weathering that can happen without the present of water?
Four types of weathering that can occur without water include mechanical weathering caused by temperature changes, chemical weathering due to oxygen in the air, biological weathering from plant roots and burrowing animals, and physical weathering caused by wind abrasion.
Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
What are some ways weathering can happen?
Weathering can happen through physical processes such as freeze-thaw cycles breaking down rocks, chemical processes like acid rain dissolving minerals, and biological processes where plant roots pry apart rocks.
