Can water weather rock by gradually dissolving it?
Yes, if the water is acidic(acid rain)
How could you tell that a rock reacts to acid?
The rock will react by opening up in the center. That is only if it works. Besides, a rock will most likely NOT react to the acid because it is too strong and solid.
In Pokemon diamond what is a damp rock?
it increases the duration of rain dance.
What is the organism that secretes acid that breaks down bare rock?
lichens
Is pouring acid on a rock and producing bubbles physical or chemical?
chemical
What type of rock is affected by acid rain?
limescale
What rock is not affected by acid rain?
granite and gabbro
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.
Does acid rain impact all rocks the same?
No, it does not effect all rocks the same. It depends on the type of rock and the acid level in the rain.
What would happen to a rock placed in a wet climate?
A sculpture of hard granite would fair better than one of soft limestone, especially if affected by acid rain. (Acid rain is rain polluted by industrial pollution, and turned into a mild acid.) If acid rain is not involved, then most rock types would survive for many centuries. Though, as the climate is wet, being covered in moss is very likely.

Which rock decays faster from acid rain?
Rocks containing carbonate, like limestone, dissolve fastest in acidic rain
How is the Washington Monument affected by weathering and erosion?
The acid rain is slowly dissolving the materials within the rock and so causeing it to deplete over time
What rock would be a good use of statue and is not affected too much by acid rain?
Any igneous rock like granite or basalt would be good. Avoid carbonate rocks.
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
What does Acid rain cause in rock?
If the rock is a limestone it will react with it chemically.
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.
