What is most chemical weathering caused by?
Chemical weathering is primarily caused by water, oxygen, and acid precipitation. These agents can break down minerals in rocks through processes like oxidation, hydrolysis, and carbonation, leading to the gradual breakdown of rock material over time.
Is decaying of wood is physical or chemical change?
Yes,Decaying Of Wood Is Chemical Change. Answered By Warfa
How do plants act as agent of both chemical and mechanical weathering?
A plant can act as an agent of mechanical weathering by simply growing next to something. The plant will rub against it and in some cases grow in any openings in the material. Tree roots can grow into the cracks in boulders and ledges, widening these cracks and ultimately contributing to the break-down of these structures. Plants also produce oxygen gas which contributes to chemical weathering through the formation of metal oxides. Tree roots also take nutrients and minerals from the soil, ultimately leaving them on top of the ground and subject to erosion forces.
Is decaying of food is a physical or chemical change?
no
Is decaying is an example of chemical change?
yes.
Is decaying plants dissolving minerals in rocks mechanical or chemical?
Decaying plants dissolve minerals in rocks through chemical weathering. As organic acids are released during decomposition, they react with minerals in the rock, causing them to break down chemically. This process contributes to the overall weathering and erosion of the rock over time.
Is leaves decaying in the forest a mechanical weathering?
No, leaves decaying in the forest is not considered mechanical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like abrasion or freeze-thaw cycles that break down rocks into smaller pieces. Decaying leaves contribute to chemical weathering as they release acids that can break down minerals in the soil.
Is leaves decaying in the forest chemical or mechanical weathering?
The process of leaves decaying in the forest is considered to be chemical weathering. During decay, organic matter in the leaves breaks down and releases minerals into the soil, altering its composition. This chemical process aids in the weathering of rocks and contributes to soil formation.
Is acid from decaying animals a source of chemical weathering?
Yes, it is.

Real life example of chemical weathering?
The main agents of chemical weathering are acid precipatation, lichens, and other plants like mold decaying the rock. :)
What is a source of chemical weathering?
the effects of acid from decaying animalsThe questions sounds like you were given choices which you didn't list. I would say "acid rain"
Which one of the following is a source of chemical weathering a The abrasion of running water b water freezing in the cracks of exposed rocks c the effects of acid from decaying animals d the growth?
C. The effects of acid from decaying animals

Are the effects of acid from decaying animals a form of chemical weathering?
Lichens and mosses grow on essentially bare rock surfaces and create a more humid chemical microenvironment. The attachment of these organisms to the rock surface enhances physical as well as chemical breakdown of the surface microlayer of the rock. On a larger scale, seedlings sprouting in a crevice and plant roots exert physical pressure as well as providing a pathway for water and chemical infiltration. So, i think it is a form of chemical weathering. Or at least that was the closest answer i could find

Is a battery chemical mechanical or nuclear?
A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.
