Question

Are certain forms or methods of weathering more common in certain environments? For example, where do you think

you'd see exfoliation or ice wedging occur more commonly?

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Certain types of weathering are more common in certain environments than others.

This is very true.

• Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
• Different forms of weathering are dictated by their geographies on the earth surface.
• Ice or frost wedging is only possible in temperate or polar regions of the world.
• Exfoliation is pronounced around the tropical region as series of thermal expansion and contraction is involved.
• Alternate freezing and thawing which expands cracks is also a geographical phenomenon.
