🗑
|
||||
| Describe how freezing and thawing of water causes mechanical weathering. | when water freezes in a crack into a rock, it expands and makes the cracks bigger, then it freezes again
🗑
|
||||

| For hundreds of years, an ancient statue had been kept outdoors in a country with a dry, mild climate. Predict how the city's climate will affect the weathering of the state. | Pollution and the wet climate would cause acid rain , the hot/cold may result in freezing and thawing and ice wedging, and the fastest weathering occurs in that wet climate.
