Which one of the following is a source of chemical weathering a The abrasion of running water b water freezing in the cracks of exposed rocks c the effects of acid from decaying animals d the growth?
C. The effects of acid from decaying animals
Which of these are not Not a source pf mechanical weathering?
Precipitation (source of chemical weathering) Plant roots (source of chemical weathering) Freezing and thawing (source of mechanical weathering) Human activities (source of mechanical weathering)
What is a source of chemical weathering?
the effects of acid from decaying animalsThe questions sounds like you were given choices which you didn't list. I would say "acid rain"
What Hydrolysis is a source of which type of weathering?
Hydrolysis is a source of chemical weathering, where minerals in rocks are broken down by the chemical reaction with water.
Is Oxidation a source of which type of weathering?
chemical
Oxidation is a source of which type of weathering?
Oxidation is a source of chemical weathering. It occurs when minerals in rocks react with oxygen in the air or water, causing them to break down and weaken.
Which one of the following is a source of chemical weathering the abrasion of running water?
The abrasion of running water is a physical weathering process, not a source of chemical weathering. Chemical weathering is caused by reactions of rocks and minerals with substances like water, oxygen, and acids, which alter their composition over time.
What could be a source of chemical weathering?
a coal fired power plant.
What is the vegetation source of weathering?
The vegetation source of weathering is the organic acids released by plants as they decompose. These acids can break down minerals in rocks, leading to weathering processes such as chemical weathering. The roots of plants can also physically break apart rocks, contributing to mechanical weathering.
How can animals function as agents of weathering?
Animals dig, this loosend the soil & breaks apart rocks. Source: My science teacher
Is water freezing in the cracks of exposed rocks a source chemical weathering?
No. Chemical weathering is only when acid rain etc. is involved. I suppose you could call this 'natural weathering' but I'm not sure that is the correct term because it is simply water freezing and expanding.
What is the source of ATP in animals?
Chemical energy made in food that the animals eat.
