Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by?
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by factors such as increased rainfall, higher temperatures, and the presence of acidic substances. These conditions can accelerate the breakdown of rocks and minerals, leading to faster weathering processes.
What is weathering by acid rain?
Acidic rain causes chemical weathering to occur. Dissolution in particular.
What is acid rain weathering?
Acidic rain causes chemical weathering to occur. Dissolution in particular.
What are two examples of weathering?
erosion-from acidic rain and sorry cant help you out for a second
Which type or types of weathering is cause by acidic rain?
Acid rain primarily causes chemical weathering, specifically the process of dissolution where acidic water dissolves minerals from rocks. This can lead to the deterioration and weakening of the rock structure over time.
What agent of chemical weathering caused by pollution?
Acid Rain
What kind of weathering is acid precipitation an agent of?
Acid precipitation is an agent of chemical weathering. It occurs when rain, snow, or fog has a high acidic content due to pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can cause rocks to break down and deteriorate.
How can acid affect the rate of weathering?
Acid acts as a catalyst, causing water-releated weathering to happen more quickly. This is why acid rain is so potentially harmful. Pollutants in the air mix with water in rain giving the rain an acidic quality, which speeds up weathering.
What caused the chemical weathering that created the lechuguilla caves?
Acid Rain
What type of erosion does rain drops form?
If you mean acidic rain, then rain drops obviously form chemical weathering. Weathering is the breaking down of rock into smaller pieces. Erosion is the carrying of sediment by water, wind, or ice.
What is the difference between normal rain and acid rain since normal rain is acidic anyway?
Normal rain is slightly acidic but it occurs naturally, as oppose to acid rain caused by air pollution
Is the source of weathering in the Grand Canyon the Colorado River?
Yes, although some weathering is caused by wind and rain.
