(1) refers to solution; (2) refers to carbonation; (3) is
hydration and (4) is hydrolysis. All these are chemical processes leading to weathering. |
|
9335 |
C |
The dotted areas show the weathered rocks by chemical
weathering. |
|
9613 |
C |
(2) and (4) are areas with abundant rainfall, sunshine and high
temperature. All these favour
chemical weathering. |
|
9208 |
A |
The cracks show it is block disintegration while the depressions
show honey-comb weathering has been taken place. |
|
9505 |
C |
The diagram shows honey-comb weathering, which is a kind of
chemical weathering. Great
difference in diurnal temperature only favours physical weathering. |
|
