Geography

7 0

Answer:

Physical weathering enhances the rate of chemical weathering .

Explanation:

Physical weathering is the breaking down of rocks by various processes like freezing and thawing without altering the rocks chemical composition.

While, chemical weathering involves the disintegration and dissolution of rocks by the chemical processes like oxidation , carbonation and solution processes etc.

Generally a fractured rock can easily be weathered by chemical agents rather than a normal fractured rock.

So ,

when a rock is already subjected to physical weathering, the rock will develop cracks on it and when the chemical agents comes in contact with that rock, the chemical solution will penetrate into those cracks and will dissolve the rocks at a rapid rate.

Esta última facilitó la revolución que Alemania viviría ya que invirtió capitales, maquinaria y debió abastecerse de mano de obra especializada, y se radicó con más fuerzas ya que las regiones de Alemania contaban con variados recursos naturales. Este acontecimiento trajo consecuencias políticas y por supuesto económicas, las que influyeron de forma importante en todos los aspectos.

A piston above a liquid in a closed container had a area of 1m 2squared. The piston carried a load of 350 kg. What will be the e
Simora [160]
In physical science, pressure quantifies the amount of force that is applied at a certain area. Mathematically, this can be transformed as,
                    Pressure = Force / Area

It is also to be noted that force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 
                 Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Substituting,
                Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
                Force = 3430 N

Then, substitute this to the first equation,
                 Pressure = 3430 N / 1m²

<em>ANSWER: Pressure = 3430 N/m² = 3430 Pa</em>
