What else can I help you with?
Which activity demonstrates chemicalal weathering?
The process of acid rain breaking down limestone rocks, causing them to dissolve and erode, demonstrates chemical weathering.
How can a iceberg create weathering?
As an iceberg - or glacier - moves across land, it will scrape against it, causing it to weather/erode the land.
What are the causes of chemical wethering?
Chemical weathering is caused by acid rain. The acid rain will eat away at the rock causing it to erode. This is one of the many forms of chemical weathering.
What do the agents of weathering do?
Erode rock into sand.
What are the affect of weathering on rock?
The rock will erode and change
What effect does weathering have on antarctica?
because it will erode the cliffs and mountaintops of the continent, the broken away ice will then melt raising the water level and causing global flooding
Lichens and mosses erode rocks by producing?
Lichens and mosses erode rocks by producing acids. These acids lead to the deterioration of rocks, such as limestone and marble.
How does weathering turn mountains into hills?
Weathering breaks down the rocks that make up mountains over time, causing them to gradually erode and be worn away. This process includes physical (e.g. frost action) and chemical (e.g. oxidation) weathering, which weakens the rocks. As the rocks erode, the mountains gradually become smaller and transform into hills.
What type of physical weathering is caused when rocks scrape together causing small pieces to breakk off?
Abrasion is the type of physical weathering that occurs when rocks scrape together, causing small pieces to break off. This process is common near coastlines where waves continuously hit and erode rock formations.
What things causes a rock to erode?
Weathering, wind, rain, extreme temperatures.
What happens to rock formations as they age outside?
As rock formations age outside, they are subjected to weathering processes such as erosion, frost wedging, and chemical weathering. These processes gradually break down the rocks, causing them to disintegrate or change in appearance over time. Eventually, the rock formations may completely erode away or transform into different types of formations.
Can weathering reduce the height of a mountain?
Yes, weathering can reduce the height of a mountain over long periods of time by breaking down and eroding the rock material that makes up the mountain. Processes such as physical weathering (e.g. freeze-thaw cycles) and chemical weathering (e.g. acid rain) can weaken and erode the rock, causing the mountain to gradually decrease in height.
