Question Q.6GS1GS1
Bring out the interdependence between physical and chemical weathering with suitable examples.
Main Body
Weathering is the phenomenon of slow denudation of Rocks via agents over thousands of years to form fine silt.
Ground water → Agents of Weathering → Wind
↓ Running Water
Temperature ↓
Precipitation → Biological agents (Microbes)
Interdependence of Physical Weathering: (via agent mentioned above)
Chemical Weathering → Carbonation, Oxidation, Solution etc.
1Reinforce each other. (eg) Solution is aided by water in limestone topography & karst formation.
