Say whether each of the following statements relates to the influence on weathering by rock composition, rock properties, or climate. 1.exposed rock in the mountains of alaska 2.a lack of fractures in an outcrop3.quartz is rarely affected by dissolution, hydrolysis, or oxidation4.high porosity (a large amount of space between grains in a rock)5.rocks on the coast of a tropical island6.minerals that dissolve in the presence of waterthe good earth/chapter 9: weathering and soils weathering ratesthe good earth/chapter 9: weathering and soilscompositional control1.weathering is faster in rocks composed of weaker material or material that is easily converted to weaker material (such as feldspars)2.weathering is faster in rocks made up of minerals that dissolve in water (salt, gypsum)3.weathering is slower in rocks made of resistant materials (quartz)rock property control1.weathering is faster in rocks that allow air and water in (porous, fractured)2.fractures are natural weathering surfaces3.igneous and metamorphic rocks generally have low porosity –do you think they are particularly susceptible to weathering

Ateam of researchers calculates that a glacier will melt completely away in the next 100 years. which land structure will most likely be left behind after the glacier melts?

What is the general rule about surface currents? cold water flows along the ocean floor towards the equator. the east coasts of continents have cold surface currents, and the west coasts of continents have warm surface currents. seasonal and constant offshore winds create significant upwelling along the west coasts of south and north america and africa. the west coasts of continents have cold surface currents, and the east coasts of continents have warm surface currents.
