No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials.
In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement.
the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand
What else can I help you with?
How does the ocean conveyor belt help keep western Europe's climate warmer than it would be without the current?
The gulf stream - it carries warmth towards northern Europe.
How do you assume the HELP position to reduce heat loss in cold water?
Float on your stomach with arms and legs extended.
How do you use the word thermoreceptors in a sentence?
The thermoreceptors in your fingertips help you to tell if the water in the tub is hot or cold.
What are the main methods and concepts in the field of meteorology?
Scientists studying meteorology use devices such as a rain gauge, an anemometer, and a hygrometer to predict weather patterns. Climate models help meteorologists to explore long-term climate shifts.
Mecanical equipment in housekeeping?
The most common mechanical equipment in housekeeping includes the vacuum cleaner and the laundry machine. These help housekeepers to clean carpets and wash clothes.
Where on earth would you most likely see mechanical weathering?
Colder climates can help this process. It can also depends if it is a wet or dry climate.
What are processes that help shape Neptune?
mechanical weathering
What type of climate would result in faster mechanical weathering?
A climate with wide temperature fluctuations, such as in deserts, would result in faster mechanical weathering. The extreme temperatures cause rocks to expand and contract quickly, leading to the breaking down of rock particles.
How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
How does chemical weathering help mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering weakens the rock structure by altering its mineral composition, making it more susceptible to physical breakdown. This makes mechanical weathering processes, like frost wedging or abrasion, more effective in breaking down the rock into smaller pieces. Ultimately, the combination of chemical and mechanical weathering accelerates the overall process of rock disintegration.
What slowly change earth crust?
Weathering, chemical change, and mechanical change. I hope i could help.
Does mechanical weathering add the effectiveness of chemical weathering?
it will be influenced, because chemical happens in warm wet area, while are only happens in cold areas :) :) :) :) ONLY A DIRECTIONER WILL IMPROVE IT FOR PUTTING DIRECTIONER FOREVER AND PAULWAYS :) :) :) :) ~Alexia Escutia
The alternate freezing and thawing of soil and rock is called mechanical weathering right?
Yes, that process is known as frost action or frost wedging, which is a type of mechanical weathering where water seeps into cracks in rocks or soil, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart.
How do oceans help determine the earths climate?
Because the water water can sometimes be, or cold.
What are the regional effects on weathering erosion and deposition?
Regional factors such as climate, geology, topography, and vegetation can influence the rates and types of weathering, erosion, and deposition in an area. For example, a wet climate can accelerate chemical weathering, while a mountainous terrain can lead to increased erosion. Vegetation can help stabilize soil and reduce erosion rates. Ultimately, the complex interaction of these factors determines the overall landscape evolution in a region.
What are the agents of mechanical physical weathering?
Agents of mechanical physical weathering include frost action, unloading, thermal expansion, and biological activity. These processes break down rocks into smaller fragments through physical forces like expansion and contraction, freezing and thawing, and root growth.
Which of the processes is not an example of chemical weathering?
A. dissolution of calcite B. breaking down of feldspar to form clay C. splitting of a rock along a fracture D. rusting of a nail E. All are examples of chemical weathering *I have read the book and researched I need help finding this please. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't knew... no rude answers*
