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.

How are prevailing winds formed
zhuklara [117]

Prevailing winds are the planetary winds that are caused by the formation of giant convection cells over the earth. Prevailing winds blow from the hot regions of the earth, like the tropics, to the cold areas of the earth, like the temperate or polar regions, and from the cold areas back to the hotter regions.

1) Joints differ from faults primarily
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

1- Option (C)

2- TRUE

3- FALSE

Explanation:

Joints are the type of fracture that splits the rock into two parts thereby the blocks move away from one another. They are formed due to the tensional force. Whereas, the fault, in simple terms is defined as the cracks or fractures present in the crust of the earth. They are formed by both tensional as well as compressional forces. They differ from one another in terms of displacement. In a fault, the relative displacement between the blocks is more than in the case of joints.

According to the law of cross-cutting relationships, geological features such as faults, igneous intrusions, that cuts across the sedimentary layers on earth are younger than those sedimentary rocks.

A neutron is a neutral particle as it does not carry any kind of electric charge. So, the addition or elimination of neutron from the nucleus does not affect the electric charge of the nucleus. But it can cause changes in the mass within the nucleus. Isotopes originate due to the addition or removal of neutrons from a nucleus.

Hence, the correct answers are given above.
