  4. Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions. google

  5. The two key things that affect weathering are moisture and temperature.

  7. I think the weathering in Maine will be: (mechanical)- the roots of plants growing down and breaking up the rock, and ice wedging, and the wind blowing and making rocks rub against each other. Next one is chemical. chemical weathering is: roots acid, oxygen, and animals burrowing.

  8. Climate does affect weathering. It controls weather it occurs or not. The type of weathering you can find in Maine is: roots growing,ice freezing and animals digging.

  9. Climate can affect the type of weathering because if it's cold then its more likely for the mechanical weathering and if its warm then its more likely to be chemical weathering over mechanical. In Maine the weathering would most likely be mechanical because it is really cold and really not warm.

  12. Climate does have a effect on weathering because with out climate rocks wont be able to weather away. I think we see a lot of mechanical weathering in Maine because there are just a lot of rocks.

  14. Yes climate affects weathering because the overall climate of an area will have an affect on what weathering forces can occur. It can increase or decrease the potential for mechanical weathering through thermal stress.

  29. Chemical and mechanical con occur in Maine mechanical is every where and chemical can come from plants.It can effect it by split big rocks into little rocks so theres more rocks

    ReplyDelete
  30. both mechanical and chemical

    ReplyDelete
  31. Theres definately a lot of Mechanical but theres Chemical. One example is plant acid. and tree roots breaking up into rocks and concreet.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Also mechanical and chemical weathering is found in maine.

  38. mechanical and chemical and cold moist andwarm moist

    ReplyDelete
  39. Climate can affect weathering, because rainfall and temperature affect the rate rocks weather at. The type of weathering I would expect to see in Maine is mechanical weathering.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yes I think both mechanical and chemical weathering can affect in Maine.

  41. Weather is one major effect of weathering. In Maine we have both winter and summer. This means that both Mechanical and Chemical weathering both happen in Maine. The climate in Maine is all 4 seasons . This means that both types of weathering are in Maine both being Mechanical and Chemical. Some examples of Mechanical weathering are burrowing animals, tree roots , plants acid and many more.Some examples of Chemical weathering in Maine are waves ,wind and plant acid. Mechanical weathering happens mostly in warm and moist weather and Chemical weather is most likely to happen when the climate is cold and moist. Maine has both cold and moist seasons and warm and moist seasons.

  42. Yes I think both mechanical and chemical can affect wether in Maine because mechanical weathering is all around us.

    ReplyDelete
  43. the wether is a vary cool thing becuse it all depends and when and ware it happens in the climat

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think it would affect both because it could burn or freeze chemicles and freeze or blow or burn machenicle things to

  46. I think some types of weathering you would find in Maine would be winter weathering. The winters are sometimes extremely cold and windy in Maine. Which can erode rocks. That is the types of weathering I think you would find in Maine

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think that both mechanical and chemical weathering can affect the weather anywhere

    ReplyDelete
  48. Climate can affect weathering, because rainfall and temperature affect the rate rocks weather at. The type of weathering I would expect to see in Maine is mechanical weathering.

  50. I think climate can effect weathering because there is more chemical weathering when it's cold and wet rather than hot and dry. I think we could find different things with the climate in maine depending on the season.

    I believe (WHAAATTT?! NO QUIPS, PUNS, OR JOKES!?) the weather can effect the effects of weathering. Like, in warm weather can make rocks slippery. They could slip and hit eachother, cracking and creating more rocks. The hot and dry weather can dry up the rocks, making them more brittle and easy to break.
    In the cold weather, water can get into the cracks and cause the rocks to crack. Then the crack can cause the rock to BREAK. Making two/more rocks.
    Sadly, I can't stalk to senpai today. I don't know where she is.

  53. Climate can effect weathering. I would expect chemical and mechanical weathering in Maine.

  54. Climate can indeed effect weathering. In Maine, both chemical and mechanical weathering occurs. It rains commonly here, and rain contains acid that can cause chemical weathering on rocks. Maine is also flourishing in trees. Tree roots can grow in to cracks in rocks and sidewalks, which break them apart, causing mechanical weathering.

  55. Rocks slowly break down over time through a set of chemical, physical and biological processes called weathering.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yes I think that climate can effect weathering in Maine. I think that I would expect to find both types of weathering in Maine because of season change it can sometimes be both so my final answer is both.

  57. Yes, both chemical and mechanical weathering becuse theres rocks smashing against each other. Theres also rain and waves that erode rocks.

    Maine in the summer time temperatures average into the high 80's. which can be chemical because the heat average. Maine in the winter time is very cold and harsh, many ice wedging and things happen in the winter including many low temperatures and unpredictable snowstorms.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Yes i think climate can affect weathering.I would think that we would have both types of weathering in our state.

  60. climate does affect weathering cause when water freezes rocks will get to cold and break in half and crumble up in tiny little particles.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think it would affect both because it could make ice wedging or the rain could break the rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I think you would find Chemical weathering in Maine

    ReplyDelete
  63. oops I forgot a. at the end of freezes.

    ReplyDelete
  64. i think it would be both because ice wedging can break down the rocks so can the rain

    ReplyDelete
  65. of coarse climate can effect weathering. in maine ice and water and plants can effect it

  67. Yes climate can effect weathering. In Maine I think we see both types of weathering because seasons change frequently in Maine.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Yes it can effect weathering. You will find mostly mechanical weathering in Maine

    ReplyDelete
  69. The weathering you'd find in Maine is Chemical

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yes. In Maine you will likely find ice wedging due to Maine's cold climate.
    (It reminds me of the climate after a nuclear fallout.)

  71. i think you find chemical weathering in maine

    ReplyDelete
  72. Ill mostly find Ice Wedging in Maine Sorry forgot that part OOOOOPPPPPS

    ReplyDelete
  73. Yes climate affects weathering. There would be both physical and chemical weathering in Maine because of the animals burrowing and pushing rocks and stuff and the plants that grow and push the rocks away and for chemical in the summer Maine is 80 degrees or above most of the time and that could effect the rocks from the heat and In winter time it gets cold and ice wedging happens.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Climate can affect weathering. In Maine, you would expect to find chemical weathering from chemicals that were released by the hot summer temperatures, while also seeing mechanical weathering in the form of ice wedging during the winter. Ice wedging happens when underground water freezes in cold temperatures, and when water freezes and turns to ice, it expands, pushing the things above it (like rocks) up and causing frost heaves, which is a type of weathering.
