When Chemical weathering happens more slowly in desert areas due to a lack of?
Lack of rain prevents chemical erosion in a dessert.
Does physical weathering inhibit chemical weathering?
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
What kind of weathering is more rapid in a warm wet climate?
chemical weathering
Does chemical weathering affect rocks more in a temperate climate or in a desert climate?
Yes because chemical weathering occurs faster in desert climates. Rocks are us to chemical weathering and temperate climates get it but not as much.
How does chemical weathering promote mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area. This allows the acid and chemicals to break down the pieces of rock faster.
Why does chemical weathering proceed slowly in a hot desert?
Chemical weathering requires water to speed it up. Since there is little water in the desert, it is a slow process compared to weathering in more humid areas.
Chemical weathering happens more slowly in what areas?
dry areas.that is mainly in desert areas.
Does physical weathering increase chemical weathering?
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.
When Chemical weathering happens more slowly in desert areas due to a lack of?
Lack of rain prevents chemical erosion in a dessert.
Why does chemical weathering happen more when its hot?
why does chemical weathering happen?
Minerals resistant to chemical weathering?
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
Does physical weathering inhibit chemical weathering?
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
How does climate affect mechanical and chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in warm, wet climates, and mechanical weathering occurs more in cold climates.
Why is chemical weathering faster in the tropics?
Because chemical reactions happen quicker in an increases temperature. So the more chemical reactions, the more chemical weathering
How does physical weathering make the job easier for chemical weathering?
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
What is the main thing that mechanical weathering accomplishes that makes chemical weathering more efficient?
Mechanical weathering increases the surface area that can be attacked by chemical weathering.
Why does chemical weathering accure more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
