Why would a marble statue last longer in a dry desert?
Marble is attacked by carbonic acid - carbon dioxide dissolved in water. The desert has little rainfall so chemical weathering occurs at a very slow rate.
Why is the Thar Desert water-thirsty?
All deserts are 'water thirsty.' That is why they are called deserts - they are arid regions that experience low rainfall. The Thar is no exception. If it received more rainfall it would cease to be a desert.
Why does a desert rarely experience fog?
Clouds mean water, and deserts have virtually no water.
What desert covers most of the the Arabian Peninsula?
That would be the Arabian Desert.
What is the variance of temperature between day and night in the desert?
That would depend upon which desert and your specific location in that desert.
Does the Atacama Desert experience physical weathering or chemical weathering?
Since it rarely rains in the Atacama, nearly all weathering would be physical weathering caused by the wind.
What two agents of weathering would be rare in a desert?
water and snow
Why is rock weathering reducedin desert?
Rock weathering is reduced in deserts because of the lack of moisture. Weathering processes such as chemical weathering rely on water to break down rocks, which is limited in desert environments. Additionally, the extreme temperature fluctuations in deserts can inhibit the expansion and contraction of rocks that would typically contribute to mechanical weathering.
What two agents of weathering would you rarely find in the desert?
Chemical weathering agents, such as acid rain, and biological weathering agents, such as plant roots, are less common in deserts due to the lack of moisture and vegetation in these arid environments. Wind and physical weathering, like abrasion and thermal stress, are more prevalent in desert weathering processes.
What two agents of weathering would be rare in the desert?
Chemical weathering agents like acid rain would be rare in the desert due to low moisture levels. Similarly, frost wedging, which requires water to freeze and expand, would also be less common in desert environments.
What is weathering in the desert?
Depending on what type of desert, the atmosphere is usually dry, and sometimes windy. In a desert such as the Sahara, the weather is hot and dusty, although cooler at night. In a desert like Antarctica, the weather is extremely cold and windy.
What 2 agents of weathering would be rare in a desert?
Chemical weathering agents like acid rain and biological weathering agents like plant roots would be rare in deserts due to the lack of moisture needed for these processes to occur effectively. Instead, physical weathering agents like wind and temperature fluctuations are more common in desert environments.
What areas would experience the most weathering?
Areas with high levels of precipitation and temperature fluctuations, such as tropical regions or coastal areas, typically experience more significant weathering due to the combination of mechanical and chemical processes. Additionally, areas with frequent freeze-thaw cycles or high levels of vegetation and organic material can also experience increased weathering.
Where on earth would physical weathering from temperature chang be most common?
Physical weathering from temperature changes is most common on the shorelines, because waves are able to take down rocks that have been weathers. They would be least noticeable inland, in desert areas with little forestation.
How do you use the world seashore in a sentence?
When Suzy sold seashells by the seashore, she was short-changing her sales potential. She should have sold seashells far from the seashore- somewhere that would show how special they really are. The seashore was littered with seaweed today.
