What rock is not affected by acid rain?
granite and gabbro
Can you show one sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly affected by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Acid rain can dissolve the calcium carbonate in limestone, leading to erosion and weathering of the rock. As a result, limestone formations such as caves and cliffs can be significantly impacted by acid rain over time.
What effect does acid rain have on rocks?
Carbonic acid is the result of carbon dioxide dissolved in water, When carbonic acid is added to a rock and it bubbles, the rock is a carbonate.
What is the type of weathering where rock is dissolved by an acid?
Chemical weathering is the type of weathering where rock is dissolved by an acid, such as carbonic acid from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or sulfuric acid from acid rain. This process occurs when certain minerals in the rock react with the acid, causing it to break down and dissolve over time.
Which rock would be most affected by acid rain?
Rocks containing carbonate (CO2) are highly affected by acid rain. Limestone (CaCO2) is a very common carbonate rock.
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
How does acid rain damage rock or stone?
Acid rain can damage rock or stone by dissolving the minerals that hold the rock or stone together, leading to erosion and weakening of the material. Over time, the surface of the rock or stone can become pitted and rough due to the chemical reactions with the acid in the rain.
What does Acid rain cause in rock?
If the rock is a limestone it will react with it chemically.
How can acid rain cause erosion?
The harmful gases produced from use rise and produce acid rain, the rain then falls. When the acid rain touches the rock it starts to break down the molecules in the rock, causing cracks to appear, leading to bits falling of. This called eroding of the rock.
How does acid precipitation cause rocks to weathering faster?
Because it causes them to move, and so they weather that way. Buut the acid rain can leak into the rock and slowly break down the atoms, causing it to chemically weather faster. Also, just regular water/rain can wash away some covering sediment
Is rain and acid a rock chemical?
An acid rain contain acids as HNO3, H2SO4, HCl.
What are the effect on acid rain?
Melting of rock or erosion
What rock will buffer the effects of acid rain?
Limestone.
What type of rock is affected by acid rain?
limescale
What will happen when you put acid rain on a rock?
in disinagrates deppending wat kind of rock it is \
What rock are eroded by acid rain?
Definitely Sand stone!
How acid rain weathers rock?
It lands on the rocks and dissolves them.
