What else can I help you with?
What is the type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces?
mechanical
What is the hardest type of rock igneous metamorphic and sedimentary?
be carefull before weathering is not allowed for sedimentary.
What type of chemical weathering is most likely to affect a rock containing calcite?
Dissolution from acidic rainfall.
How long does it take for a piece of rock to break away due to freeze thaw weathering?
It would depend on the type of rock and the temperature changes involved.
What are four factors that influence the strength of a rock and how it will deform?
temperature, confining pressure, rock type, and time
List and explain the various factor that influence the rate of weathering?
Porosity .Porous sediments equals better circulation and thus fater weathering process. .Impermeable rocks will mean that no or little circulation and thus slower weathering process.
What dose the rate of weathering depend on?
The rate of weathering depends on several factors such as climate, rock type, and presence of vegetation. In general, weathering is faster in warm, wet environments and on softer rock types. Additionally, human activities can also influence the rate of weathering.
Which influence both chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
Climate can greatly influence chemical weathering, as wet and warm environments tend to accelerate chemical reactions. Meanwhile, the type of rock and geological processes in an area can impact the rate of mechanical weathering, as softer rocks are more susceptible to mechanical breakdown.
Blank is a type of weathering where rock is dissolved by an acid.?
Chemical weathering
What is a type of weathering where rock is broken down as absorbs water?
Hydration
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What is a type of weathering that changes rock into one or more substances?
Chemical weathering
The type of Weathering in which rock is Physically broken into smaller pieces?
mechanical weathering
What type of weathering occurs when only the size of the rock change?
physical weathering
What Type of weathering that breaks down a rock without changing its composition?
Mechanical weathering.
Type of weathering that breaks down a rock without changing its composition?
Mechanical weathering.
The rate of weathering depends on the type of rock and on the?
The surface
