Does mechanical weathering change a rocks chemicals?
Mechanical weathering does not change a rock's chemical composition; it only breaks the rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, alters a rock's chemical composition through processes like oxidation, hydrolysis, and dissolution.
What type of weathering is seen in desert environments a. spheroidal weathering b. hydrolysis c. sedimentation d. differential weathering?
differential weathering
Quartz resists chemical weathering more than any other common mineral?
Yes, quartz is highly resistant to chemical weathering due to its strong molecular structure. It is more stable compared to other common minerals such as feldspar or amphibole, which are more prone to chemical breakdown and alteration. This resistance to weathering allows quartz to persist in sedimentary deposits and resist the effects of erosion over time.
Are chemicals from plants physical or chemical weathering?

How does weathering change minerals?

Why is heating is a agent of weathering?
Because it helps in disintegration of solid masses, as it weakens their individual molecular force of attraction.

What are the factors of weathering?
physical weathering refers to weathering that occurs because of brute force, while chemical weathering refers to weathering that take place because change in the molecular composition of the substance
