What is the image of? That will explain it.

Answer 3

Is this one chemical weathering? I have to label each picture either mechanical weathering or chemical weathering

Answer 4

Yes. That is chemical weathering.

Answer 5

Identify the three ways in which mechanical weathering and chemical weathering occur.

Answer 6

Thats what they are asking for actually

Answer 7

@snowflake0531 - she will know this then.

Answer 8

I tried helping. I ain't strong in this.

Answer 9

i asked her too

Answer 14

Is it a hard question?? lol sorry if it is

Answer 15

nvm ill just put something

Answer 16

Well, first I had to take a look at the image and then I didn't know any of the crap, so I did some research.

Mechanical weathering reduces the size of rocks without altering their structure. Chemical weathering decomposes rocks by creating new minerals that are stable at the surface of the Earth. Chemical weathering is supported by the presence of water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen.

On the first picture in the first row, we see a rock image. This rock seems to have fractured on its own, perhaps as a result of an earthquake or simply due to age. It seems to have changed the structure slightly. However, I believe it is Mechanical Weathering. On the second image we see a plant in the process of growing, the soil is healthy which tells us that the rocks must've done their job, which leaves us with the answer of Chemical weathering. Like you thought so, on number three there is a possible chance it could be chemical weathering but the rock was broken down and it altered the structure so, I believe you are correct on that. The fourth image is hard to see and it looks as if there is dirt and maybe rocks, so Looks like chemical, again. Our fifth image seems to be water on a rock, Chemical weathering. The sixth looks like mechanical weathering because of the rock being broken down into a smaller size overtime but the structure isn't altered. I hope that helps. If I am wrong, Sorry.
