What else can I help you with?
When acid rain breaks down rocks by reacting with their minerals what type of weathering would this be an example of?
This is an example of chemical weathering, as the acid rain is reacting chemically with the minerals in the rocks to break them down.
Examples of Mechanical weathering?
Frost wedging & exfoliation are common terms associated with mechanical weathering.
Weathering that does not involve chemicals?
Mechanical weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller particles without a change in chemistry. An example would be the tumbling and rounding of a pebble in a stream.
Give an example of how water can cause weathering?
The Grand Canyon would be the best example. (the water and carbon dioxide react to form a weak acid.)
Give an example of a microclimate?
an example would be..............sea breezes often make beaches cooler than a nearby inland areas on a warm afternoon!!
What is mechanical wearthering?
Mechanical weathering is the process of weathering that causes disintegration in rocks but does not change the chemical compound of the rocks. Things like frost, rivers, and tree roots cause mechanical weathering. A large example of this would be the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
An example of physical weathering is?
The cracking of rocks due to freezing and thawing of water is an example of physical weathering. As water seeps into cracks in rocks and freezes, it expands, causing the rocks to break apart over time.
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
If sand were soluble in water what would happen to the world beaches?
Our beaches would be full of rocks..
What type of weathering is crack in the sidewalk?
if its near a tree then the roots of the tree make the sidewalk crack. i am in sixth grade and i know this! You are dumb, it would be mechanical weathering.
Is oxidation an example of mechanical weathering?
no. oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves an atom or a molecule losing electrons in a chemical reaction. Mechanical weathering would be something like water seeping into cracks in a rock, then freezing and breaking that rock apart.
In what locations would you expect to find chemical weathering instead of mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering is prevalent in tropical climates.
