IX. Read the text.
Chemical and mechanical weathering work together, often on the same rock at the same time. Chemical processes generally act only on the surface of a solid object, so the reaction speeds up if the surface area increases. Think of a burning log (бревно); the fire starts on the outside and works its way toward the interior. A split (расколотый) log burns faster because the surface area is greater. Mechanical processes crack rocks, thereby exposing more surface area for chemical agents to work on. After mechanical processes fracture a rock, water and air seeps into the fractures and initiate chemical weathering.
Are the following statements true or false?
Chemical weathering is followed by mechanical weathering.
Chemical weathering never acts in the Earth’s interior.
All types of rocks are subject to both chemical and mechanical weathering.
