|---|---|
| Some plantes produce acids which result in weathering. | Chemical |
| A rock that contains tiny,connected spaces through which water can move is said to be? | Permeable |
| One agent of chemical weathering is which combines with water to form Carbonic Acid. | Carbon Dioxide |
| The actions of animals most commonly can cause the type of weathering known as ? | Mechanical |
| Rapid chemical weathering can be cause by which is rain combined with Pollutants. | Acid Rain |
| Some plants produce acid that resultes in weathering | Chemical |
| The factors that determine the rate of weathering are the type of and | Rock and Climate |
| Acid rain causes very rapid weathering | Chemical |
| The most important agent of chemical weathering is | Water |
| After chemical weathering,the chemical makeup of the weather rock is than the original rock. | different |
| Freezing and thawing are an example of weathering | Chemical |
| The movement of rock particles by ice,wind,water,or gravity is called | Erosion |
| The rate of chemical weathering is in hot,wet climates than in cold dry climate. | Faster |
| The gas that causes rock containing iron to oxidize is | Oxogen |
| The type of weathering that occurs due to release of pressure is weathering | Mechanical |
| what has a rock probably been chemically weathered by if it contains iron and becomes soft,crumbly and reddish -brown color. | Mechan Oxegon |
| What may the grown of plant roots and animal activity result in? | Mechanical |
| What is the agent of chemical weathering called in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of the rock particles. | Abrasion |
| Granite will last a long time when it is used for building in what type of climate? | A cold climate |
| What type of weathering causes mineral composition of rock to change? | Chemical |
| What type od climate weathering to happen rapidly? | Hot,and Wet |
| What is ice Wedging | It's the process that water frizz and rocks and the wet brakes the rock. |
| What is uniformitarianism? | The process that happen in the past. |
| Why does a permeable rock weather easily | Because the has cracks. |
| What can scientist infer from the rounded shape of the Appalachian Mountains. | They used to be jaged there old. |
| A marble statue is left exposed to the weather.what agent of mechanical weathering probably will cause it to weather. | Freezing,and thawing |
| Describe hoe frezzing and thawing of water causes mechanical weathering. | When water freezes it expands. |
| explain how oxygen causes chemical weathering. | Oxygen mixed with to form oxidation. |
| Predict how the citys climate will affect the weathering of the status.give a reason for your production. | Because of pollution and wet climate would cause Acid Rain. |
