Example of chemical weathering

Geography
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
3 0

Chemical weathering is the disintegration of a substance in the rock through a chemical reaction.

Carbonation occurs when water and a pollutant, such as sulphur dioxide creates a weak sulphuric acid. When it rains and the water comes into contact with limestone a chemical reaction happens. Calcium sulphate is produced as it takes the calcium carbonate from the limestone. It can then transfer the solution to another area until it evaporates. When it does so it leaves behind calcium information such as stalactites.

hydration occurs when minerals in a rock absorb water, causing it to expand. Mineral, such as anhydrite, expands and weakens it’s structure and leave the rock more exposed to erosion.  

oxidation occurs some substances react to being exposed to water or air. Iron, when exposed, will turn from a silver color to a red or dark brown color known as iron oxide. It weakens the rock.

hydrolysis occurs when water bonds with a mineral in the rock. It is particularly strong at weathering feldspars in rock and can lead to the formation of Kaolin.

pashok25 [27]

The sea level is tied to glacial growth as a result of the changes that occur.

The glacial growth brings about a decrease in sea level.

Glacial growth occurs when water is evaporated and forms ice which is the

sold state of water as a result of the low temperature in the environment.

The ice formed brings about a decrease in sea level.

However, when the ice melts it leads to an increase in the sea level as the

liquid water formed from the ice which flows into the water bodies thereby

Mining and petroleum activities affecting land and vegetation, how?​
AveGali [126]

Answer:

1. Mining.

Mining affects the land by creating loss of biodiversity, sinkholes, mudslides and contamination. That’s just a few affects mining can have on the land.

2. Petroleum.

The main risk that happens when extracting petroleum are oil spills. Some of the worst oil spills in history have caused major fires, explosions, and contamination in the area where they are at. What’s worse is that innocent little animals get caught in those oil spills and die.

Hope this helps and pls mark me brainliest if it did :)
