what type of climate has the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by frost action
a wet climate in which temperatures alternate from below freezing to above freezing
landscapes will undergo the most chemical weathering if the climate is
warm and wet
wich rock weathers most rapidly when exposed to H2CO3
limestone
in wich climate wouuld the chemical weathering of limestone occur most slowly
dry and wet
wich change in climate would most likely cause the greatest increase in chemical weathering of local bed rocks
greater precipitation in summer
the weak acid in all rainwater is produced by the reaction of
water and carbon dioxide
while looking at sediments in a tray in room 146 antonio determines that the sediments have undergone very little weathering.Antonio concludes this because the sediments are
angular
as a particle of sediment in a stream breaks into several smaller pieces, the rate of weathering of the sediment will
increase due to an increase in surface area
rusting occurs from the reaction of
Iron and Carbon dioxide
jaiden puts rocks with a total mass of 27g into a shaker bottle.while listening to shaking music he shakes them for 6 minutes.it now has mass of 12g what is the rate of weathering of the rock?
2.5 g/min
what new york state town is located on the most resistant bed rock
Old Forge
carbonic acid is also known as
H2CO3
a sedimentery rock with a diameter of 0.05 cm is
sand
two streams begin at the same elevation and have equal volumes. wich statement best explains why one stream could be flowing faster than the other stream
the faster stream has a much steeper gradient
why do most streams in new york have a greater stream discharge in spring than summer
melting snow increases discharge in spring
