Question

Identify how chemical weathering and mechanical weathering make soil?

Answer

Chemical and mechanical weathering make soil by breaking down rocks and mixing with organic material, minerals, and water.

  • Q: What is chemical weathering?A Chemical weathering is the process where rocks are broken down through chemical reactions.
  • Q: What is mechanical weathering?A Mechanical weathering is the process where rocks are physically broken down as a result of environmental influences.
  • Q: How do chemical and mechanical weathering make soil?A Chemical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces and alters their chemical composition. These smaller particles mix with organic material, minerals, and water to create soil. Mechanical weathering also breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which mix with organic material, minerals, and water to create soil.
