When a gargoyle is weathered by rain it is chemical weathering. This is because rain is slightly acid in most cases and Gargoyles are made from limestone.This is what happens:
- Limestone is made of calcium carbonate
- Acidic rain reacts with calcium carbonate.
- One of the products is Carbon Dioxide.
- The other product is Calcium, which dissolves and is washed away.
- So the limestone weathers.

What effects do years of weathering have on a landscape?
eartsh landforms are constantly changing.rocks in earths crust are slowly being broken into smaller pieces in a process called weathering.water,ice,temperature changes,chemicals,and living things cause weathering.there are two types of weathering,physical weathering and chemical weathering.
What does weathering produce that is essential to life on earth?
Why is weathering important to life on land?
If the experiment animals in the chamber were engage in physical activity such as running how would the experiemnet change the result in metabolism experiment?
It would increase heart rate and breathing
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
What are three geological forces that would destroy fossils?
A fossil could be destroyed by heat due to melting, pressure from colliding bodies of rock, or from weathering at the surface.
Does the Atacama Desert experience physical weathering or chemical weathering?
Since it rarely rains in the Atacama, nearly all weathering would be physical weathering caused by the wind.
Is a crack that expands because of water physical weathering?
If water freezes in the crack and expands, that would be physical weathering.
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
What is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means?
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means. \o/
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering similar?
It would be easier to say how they are different. Both physical and chemical weathering can cause pitting, erosion of material and degradation of optical properties, making glass surfaces less reflective or transmissive.
How can physical weathering increase the rate of chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks rock down into much smaller pieces and gives the original rock a much greater surface area which, when exposed to chemical agents such as carbonic acid, reacts at a much faster rate than it would had the larger rock not undergone physical weathering.
Where on earth would physical weathering from temperature changes be least common why?
jamiaca
Where on earth would physical weathering from temperature changes be least common?
Jamaica
An example of physical weathering is?
An example of physical weathering would be sand wearing down a rock or ice wedging where water seeps into a crack, freezes in the winter, then expands it over and over.
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! (:
The process called involves physical forces that break rock into pieces.?
That would be mechanical weathering
Who would win in a fight a gargoyle or a giant worm?
Presumably, the gargoyle can fly while the worm cannot. Being able to fly is a strong advantage, so I'd place my bets on the gargoyle.
