No of course not. Anywhere water has the ability to flow across, along, or through rocks it will erode the rock. If wind blows through an underground cavern it will weather the surface of the rocks it encounters.

What causes earths surface to heat up?

The sun ray's are most responsible for Earth's surface temperature.


Does a cold climate help mechanical weathering?

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

How do plants cause chemical weathering of rock?

In chemical weathering mosses and linches have been found to grow on rocks and release chemicals that dissolve minerals from rocks. roots from plants are able to invade cracks with in rocks and increase the size of the cracks. There are a number of trees and other plants that release acidic chemicals which can cause weathering of the rocks, minerals, and soil around them. Plants also can have an affect on the way water weathers rocks and soils, they can channel water in specific directions that cause greater weathering or they can lessen the impact of rain falling on the ground. They also affect wind speed and direction near the surface of the ground having an effect on weathering in arid regions of the world. If you have any other questions about weathering go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering


Describe two ways chemical weathering may occur?

1. Chemical Weathering: Where different chemicals such as acid rain react with soft stone such as chalk and dissolves it away causing weathering. 2. Biological Weathering : Where organisms such as trees have an effect of rocks due to their roots breaking away at them when they grow through the soils underneath.

What are the cause and effect of the weathering and erosion?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller fragments, while erosion transports these fragments to another location. Weathering is caused by factors like temperature changes and water, while erosion is mainly caused by factors such as wind, water, and glaciers. Together, weathering and erosion shape the Earth's surface over time.

How does weathering effect the land?

Weathering breaks down rocks and minerals on the land surface, leading to erosion and soil formation. This process can shape landscapes by creating features such as valleys, cliffs, and caves. Over time, weathering plays a critical role in sculpting the Earth's surface.


How do weathering and erosion affect the future of the earth?

Weathering and erosion will effect the earth's future because land forms will be changed and create new rivers, deltas, etc.


How does weathering effect the plains?

Weathering in the plains can lead to the breakdown of rock and soil, which can change the landscape over time. Factors such as precipitation, temperature fluctuations, and vegetation can all contribute to weathering processes in the plains. Ultimately, weathering can gradually shape the surface of the plains through erosion and sedimentation.
