What else can I help you with?
How does physical weathering cause chemical weathering to be more effective?
by helping each other by breaking down the minerals
What is a type of weathering?
Acid rain
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
What are the differences between physical and chemical weathering and say what type acid rain is?
Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rocks through chemical reactions. Acid rain is a form of chemical weathering, as it can react with rocks and minerals to degrade them.
Where is chemical weathering most common?
Chemical weathering is most common in regions with warm, humid climates where water and organic acids can break down rocks over time. This process is especially prevalent in areas with abundant rainfall, such as tropical regions.
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
What types of weathering can cause a car to age?
rain
What agents are weathering the Vatican?
The worst is air pollution and acid rain caused by air pollution. Water (rain) and wind also cause some weathering.
Which is a cause of chemical weathering?
When the weather damages things such as acid rain, it is weathering. Acid Rain is chemical weathering because it is rain with the chemical acid in it and it can damage things like buildings, rocks and other objects. Other types of weathering are Physical Biological
What is the biggest cause of weathering?
Acid rain is the biggest cause. Acid rain forms when pollutants from factory smoke stacks mixes with rain clouds then the chemicals and the rain combine and acid rain is formed. Hope this helps :)
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.
What type of weathering causes acid rain?
Chemical weathering causes acid rain. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere from human activities, they combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the earth's surface as acid rain.
What does not cause mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering, such as the reaction of rock with acids or oxidation, does not cause mechanical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing, abrasion, and root growth that break rocks into smaller pieces without altering their composition.
What does acid rain have to do with weathering?
Acid rain speeds up the process of weathering!
How can water cause both chemicals and physical weathering?
chemical: where the slight acidity of the rain cause a slow erosion. physical: where rain erodes the object quicker than chemical.
What is weathering by acid rain?
Acidic rain causes chemical weathering to occur. Dissolution in particular.
What is cheimcal weathering?
chemical weathering is a 1st rain
