What is the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
Back
Mechanical weathering physically breaks rocks into smaller pieces without altering their composition, while chemical weathering changes the minerals within the rocks through chemical reactions.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an example of mechanical weathering caused by temperature changes?
Back
An example is freeze-thaw weathering, where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and eventually causes the rock to break apart.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is acid rain and how does it affect weathering?
Back
Acid rain is precipitation that contains high levels of sulfuric and nitric acids, which can accelerate chemical weathering by reacting with minerals in rocks, leading to their decomposition.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the impact of glaciers on weathering?
Back
Glaciers cause weathering through mechanical processes like abrasion, where the movement of ice grinds down rocks, and through chemical processes as they melt and interact with minerals.
