What else can I help you with?
Animal burrows dug in rock that let in water and air chemical or mechanical?
Plant growth is both a chemical and mechanical process. The roots secrete mild acids that dissolve minerals in rocks, and the plant's roots and stems can increase in size and force rocks apart inside cracks and crevices.
What is called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition?
Mechanical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
How do plants cause mechanical weathering-?
it cracks a rock by the roots reaching it and the longer you wait, the more it will crack until it finally just brakes
What is this geologic process called when water splits a rock?
Mechanical weathering.
Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
What contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering includes abrading or crushing. Chemical weathering includes dissolution in water or acid rain. Oxidation and reduction reactions can also cause chemical weathering.
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Can Gravity cause mechanical weathering?
because of the chemical reactions of the abiotic and the digestive system in your body
Does ice cause weathering?
Yes, mechanical weathering.
Which of the following is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering?
Temperature changes, such as freezing and thawing, is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering.
Do tornadoes cause mechanical or chemical weathering?
Mechanical.
What type of weathering is water?
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
What is the three mechanical weathering?
ice,water,and weathering
What is a cause of mechanical weathering?
Weathering may occur through the actions of water, air, plants, animals and various chemicals. Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the composition of the minerals in the rock
Do gravity and ice cause mechanical weathering?
Yes, gravity can cause mechanical weathering through processes like mass wasting, where gravity causes rocks and debris to move downhill. Ice can also cause mechanical weathering through frost wedging, where repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks and crevices causes rocks to break apart.
