Increased flow rate in water or wind erosion, as well as freeze/thaw cycles, animal movement, landslides, plant root growth, and sunshine.
Physical weathering can enhance chemical weathering by increasing the surface area available for chemical reactions to occur. This is because physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area to chemical processes like oxidation and hydrolysis. So, physical weathering does not inhibit chemical weathering; instead, it can actually facilitate it.
Is chemicals from plants chemical weathering or physical weathering
The breaking up of rocks into sediments is called weathering. Weathering can be physical (mechanical) or chemical in nature, and it is a key process in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Physical or mechanical weathering
Fog is a chemical weathering.
Acid rain speeds up the process of weathering!
it speeds up the weathering process
Physical weathering can occur at varying speeds depending on factors such as the type of rock, climate, and environmental conditions. In general, physical weathering tends to be a slow process compared to chemical weathering, as it involves physical forces like wind, water, and temperature changes breaking down rocks over time.
Yes, heat speeds up most processes including chemical weathering. Humidity and moisture likewise contribute to a speeding up of the weathering process.
When rocks are broken up by physical changes.
it is physical weathering
Chemical weathering lacks an essential component in the desert - water.
No weathering is not the same as physical weathering.Kayla
how are physical weathering and chenical weathering alike and different
By digging deep holes in the ground and breaking up rocks.
physical weathering is weathering that you can reverse and chemical weathering is where you can' reverse it.
