what is the implication of Weathering on rocks engineering property
Erosion and weathering will cause rocks to become rounded.
hen rocks are pushed deep under the Earth's surface, they may melt into magma. If the conditions no longer exist for the magma to stay in its liquid state, it will cool and solidify into an igneous rock. A rock that cools within the Earth is called intrusive or plutonic and will cool very slowly, producing a coarse-grained texture. As a result of volcanic activity, magma (which is called lava when it reaches Earth's surface) may cool very rapidly while being on Earth's surface exposed to the atmosphere and are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. These rocks are fine-grained and sometimes cool so rapidly that no crystals can form and result in a natural glass, such as obsidian. Any of the three main types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks) can melt into magma and cool into igneous rocks.
Weathering is when it rains and has a vary amount of wind and different types of weather. Erosion is when he rocks deform to different shapes. So it has a HUGE Impact because it changes the look of the rock.
Weathering is the Break down of the rocks and Eroison is the movement of weathered rock material from one place to another.
Sedimentary rocks, when exposed on the surface, is exposed to weathering.
All rocks are, once on the surface exposed to "the elements".
When rocks are larger, the surface area is more exposed making the rate of weathering greater.
Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.
The rock or rocks will undergo weathering and erosion.
weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smaller particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering
The rate of weathering also depends on the surface area that is exposed. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces. As the pieces get smaller, their surface area increases. When this happens, there is more total surface area available for chemical weathering. The result is that weathering has more of an effort on smaller particles.
The sediments from the weathering could become part of a sedimentary rock formation.
weathering is the best evidence.all rocks break down when exposed to weathering processes such as erosion
All of the exposed ones.
When chemical weathering occurs on the rocks of earths surface, the earth lets out Phosphorus.Answer: Phosphorus
Basal Surface of Weathering is also known as the Weathering Front, which is the boundary between weathered and unweathered rocks.
