Stone can decay through various natural processes, primarily weathering and erosion. Chemical weathering occurs when minerals in the stone react with water, acids, or other chemicals, leading to breakdown. Physical weathering can result from temperature fluctuations, freeze-thaw cycles, or mechanical forces. Biological factors, such as plants and microorganisms, can also contribute to stone decay by infiltrating cracks and producing acids that further degrade the material.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
What is called after you die and your body decays?
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
What is an unstable chemical that decays fast?
H+ ion
What is the decay mode for 129xe that decays to 129I?
Beta
What type of radiation is emitted when carbon 14 is decays?
Carbon-14 decays by beta-, which emits a W- boson that immediately decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
What are the particles produced when a positive pion decays?
When a positive pion decays, it produces a muon and a neutrino.
What process describes where organic material is turned into stone?
The process that describes organic material turning into stone is called petrification. This occurs when organic matter becomes replaced by minerals, conserving its original structure but transforming it into a stonelike substance. Over time, the organic material decays, leaving behind a fossilized stone replica of the original organism.
What do you call something that decays?
dead
What happened to the body after the internal organs had been removed?
After the internal organs have been removed the body decays
What do you call waste that decays?
Waste that decays is called biodegradable waste. Dead plant material that has decayed (as in compost) is called humus.
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
What type of bacteria decays plants?
Agrobacterium
What is the term for an atom the decays?
unstable, radioactive
What is called after you die and your body decays?
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
How many decays per second is in a curie?
Curie: A unit of radioactivity equal to 3.7 � 10^10 Disintegrations (decays) per second.
What do you call a atom that decays?
An atom whose nucleus decays over time is called radioactive. Some examples of radioactive substances are uranium, plutonium, and einsteinium.
