What is the Basal surface of weathering?
The basal surface of weathering refers to the base or bottom layer of material that is undergoing weathering processes such as physical or chemical breakdown. This layer is often in contact with the underlying bedrock or parent material, and serves as the point where weathering processes begin. The basal surface plays a crucial role in shaping landscapes and influencing the movement of weathered material.
The breaking down of rock by physical change?
The breaking down of a Rock 'in situ' is known as Weathering. And when this Weathering takes place by Physical Change [ The Chemical Composition of Rock is not altered ] then it is known as 'Mechanical Weathering'.Processes:It takes place by the following mechanisms:-Thermal ExpansionFrost DisintegrationPressure ReleaseHydraulic ActionSalt Crystal GrowthBiological Weathering
What part of a rock does weathering attack most rapidly?
Weathering tends to attack the outermost layer of a rock, known as the rock surface or rind, most rapidly. This layer is more exposed to the elements and is therefore more susceptible to weathering processes such as erosion, chemical weathering, and physical weathering.
Why is physical weathering also known as mechanical weathering?
Physical weathering is caused by elements of nature. It is known as mechanical weathering to distinguish it from the other types of weathering namely chemical and biological. It occurs mechanically, by the breakdown due to natural components.
Is the weathering of the earths surface known as corrosion?
No, it's known as erosion. Corrosion is the weathering of things like metal and glass.
What is another name for biological weathering?
Biological weathering is also known as bioweathering. It is the breakdown of rocks and minerals by living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms through physical or chemical processes.

What is concentric weathering?
Concentric weathering, also known as spheroidal weathering, is a type of physical weathering that occurs on rocks with uniform composition. It involves the gradual wearing away of outer layers of rock, resulting in the formation of onion-like layers or spheres on the surface of the rock. This type of weathering is commonly seen on boulders and large rock outcrops.
The decomposition of rock from exposure to water and atmospheric gases is known as?
Chemical Weathering
What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
What is meant by rock weathering?
The process of breaking down of rocks and minerals on the surface is known as rock weathering.
What type of weathering does not require the presence of water?
That would be oxidation.
Which type of weathering only affects the size of a sample?
Mechanical weathering, also known as physical weathering, only affects the size and shape of the rock without changing its mineral composition. This can be caused by processes such as freeze-thaw cycles, root wedging, and salt crystal growth.
What substances cause most chemical weathering?
One of the most well-known solution weathering processes is carbonation
