What else can I help you with?
What happens to a rock when they are uplifted to the surface of the earth?
Pressure on them is released, which can cause pressure-release mechanical weathering. Exposure of an uplifted rock to the surface will fully expose the rock to the effects of mechanical and chemical weathering--basically a rock rot.
What is the processes that shape earth's surface?
Erosion by weathering.
What is the weathering of the earth's surface called?
The weathering of the Earth's surface is called erosion. Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed and transported by wind, water, or ice.
The process that breaks down rock and other materials at earth's surface is called?
The process that breaks down rock and other materials at Earth's surface is called weathering. Weathering can occur through physical processes like freezing and thawing, as well as chemical processes like oxidation and hydrolysis.
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
What would not increase the effects of weathering and erosion?
trees and plants protect the earth from weathering and erosion
Where on earth are the effects of chemical weathering the greatest?
High temperatures and greater rainfall
What are the effects of weathering and erosion on earth?
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, leading to soil formation and altering the landscape. Erosion then transports these particles away, shaping the land and creating landforms like valleys, canyons, and deltas. Both weathering and erosion are natural processes that continuously reshape the Earth's surface over time.
What is the breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind water or ice?
The breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water, or ice is called weathering. In mechanical weathering, physical forces like abrasion and pressure cause rocks to break down into smaller pieces. This process is important in shaping the Earth's surface over time.
Does sunshine cause weathering?
Yes, sunshine can add to the effects of weathering.
Which of the inner planets has a regolith that is largely the product of weathering?
Mercury has a regolith that is largely the product of weathering, with a surface covered in impact craters and space weathering effects due to its lack of a substantial atmosphere to shield it from cosmic rays and solar wind.
What are the effects of weathering rocks?
The general effect of weathering is the creation of smaller and smaller rock particles.
What happens to a rock when they are uplifted to the surface of the earth?
Pressure on them is released, which can cause pressure-release mechanical weathering. Exposure of an uplifted rock to the surface will fully expose the rock to the effects of mechanical and chemical weathering--basically a rock rot.
What are the beneficial and harmful effects of weathering?
Beneficial effects of weathering include the breakdown of rocks into soil, which is essential for plant growth. Weathering can also help in the formation of landscapes and contribute to the cycling of minerals. However, harmful effects of weathering can lead to the deterioration of buildings and structures, as well as contribute to soil erosion and sedimentation in bodies of water.
Does erosion cause more change than weathering?
Erosion and weathering are interrelated processes that work together to break down and transport rock material. While erosion physically removes the material from its original location, weathering breaks it down chemically or physically. The combined effects of both erosion and weathering can cause significant changes to the Earth's landscape over time.
Where is soil formed in the Earth?
Weathering
How did earth get its craters?
Weathering and meteors.
