Is rain and acid a rock chemical?
An acid rain contain acids as HNO3, H2SO4, HCl.
Classify freezing or thawing oxidation water dissolving chemicals in rock abrasion acid rain?
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
What chemical reaction take place when acid rain damages buildings made of carbonate rocks?
When acid rain comes into contact with buildings made of carbonate rocks (such as limestone or marble), a chemical reaction occurs where the calcium carbonate in the rock reacts with the acid rain (which contains sulfuric acid and nitric acid) to form calcium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water. This process is known as chemical weathering, where the acid rain slowly dissolves and breaks down the carbonate rock, leading to structural damage over time.
Why mountain tops are affected more by the acid rain than the lower plains?
There is no indication that mountain tops are more affected by acid rain thean the lower areas. If the mountain is sufficiently high (like the Rockies) the top is barren rock with no plant or animal life to be harmed. Mountain tops, given their more vertical nature, have few lakes to harbour fish so no harm to fish occurs. Many mountains are made of non-carbonate rocks do even the chemical reaction of acid rain is minimal.
Why lakes with limestone beds experience less adverse affects from acid rain than lakes with granite beds?
Limestone is a basic rock that can neutralize acid rain, whereas granite is an acidic rock that can make bodies of water more susceptible to acidification. When acid rain reacts with limestone, it forms less harmful compounds than when it reacts with granite. This difference in buffering capacity helps lakes with limestone beds to experience less adverse effects from acid rain.
What type of rock is affected by acid rain?
limescale
Which rock would be most affected by acid rain?
Rocks containing carbonate (CO2) are highly affected by acid rain. Limestone (CaCO2) is a very common carbonate rock.
What rock is not affected by acid rain?
granite and gabbro
Can you show one sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly affected by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Acid rain can dissolve the calcium carbonate in limestone, leading to erosion and weathering of the rock. As a result, limestone formations such as caves and cliffs can be significantly impacted by acid rain over time.
What would happen to a rock placed in a wet climate?
A sculpture of hard granite would fair better than one of soft limestone, especially if affected by acid rain. (Acid rain is rain polluted by industrial pollution, and turned into a mild acid.) If acid rain is not involved, then most rock types would survive for many centuries. Though, as the climate is wet, being covered in moss is very likely.
A type of rock that is very badly affected by acid rain?
For example limestone which is calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
What would happen to a rock sculpture placed in a wet climate?
A sculpture of hard granite would fair better than one of soft limestone, especially if affected by acid rain. (Acid rain is rain polluted by industrial pollution, and turned into a mild acid.) If acid rain is not involved, then most rock types would survive for many centuries. Though, as the climate is wet, being covered in moss is very likely.
One sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly susceptible to chemical weathering by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Marble, a metamorphic rock derived from limestone, is also highly affected by acid rain because of its similar composition. Both rocks can undergo dissolution and erosion when exposed to acidic rainwater.
Does acid rain impact all rocks the same?
No, it does not effect all rocks the same. It depends on the type of rock and the acid level in the rain.
How is the Washington Monument affected by weathering and erosion?
The acid rain is slowly dissolving the materials within the rock and so causeing it to deplete over time
What rock would be a good use of statue and is not affected too much by acid rain?
Any igneous rock like granite or basalt would be good. Avoid carbonate rocks.
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
