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.


Can you show one sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly affected by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Acid rain can dissolve the calcium carbonate in limestone, leading to erosion and weathering of the rock. As a result, limestone formations such as caves and cliffs can be significantly impacted by acid rain over time.


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.


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.

One sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly susceptible to chemical weathering by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Marble, a metamorphic rock derived from limestone, is also highly affected by acid rain because of its similar composition. Both rocks can undergo dissolution and erosion when exposed to acidic rainwater.


What rock is the most affected by acid rain?

Limestone is the rock most significantly affected by acid rain due to its composition of calcium carbonate, which reacts readily with acidic chemicals in the rain, resulting in dissolution and erosion over time.


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?
