Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater. Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures.
Limestone caves are largely the result of chemical weathering.
What else can I help you with?
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
Does chemical weathering cause a break down in the color and size of rocks?
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
Does Natural acids cause chemical weathering?
yes
How do acids in groundwater cause chemical weathering?
It causes chemical weathering because when it touches rocks, the rocks dissolve, forming caves.
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 most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
What is most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
What of these does not cause physical weathering?
Chemical weathering does not cause physical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while physical weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
What gas causes chemical weathering?
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
What can cause chemical weathering?
Acid precipitation
Acids and growth of plants' root cause which type of weathering?
chemical weathering
Does chemical weathering cause a break down in the color and size of rocks?
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
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.
Does Natural acids cause chemical weathering?
yes
