How does chemical weathering differ from physical weathering? A. It causes rocks to change color B. It increases the size of the rock C. It makes the rock stronger D. It makes the rock disappear

A. It causes rocks to change color

Explanation:

Weathering can be defined as the gradual decomposition of rock. This means, rocks are broken into pieces or sediments through the process of weathering.

There are two types of weathering process:

1. Physical weathering also known as mechanical weathering. This is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the composition of the rock. Physical weathering is caused by the action of ice, wind, plant growth.

2. Chemical weathering: Here, the rocks changes not just in size of pieces but in its composition. This is when other minerals are applied on the rock in other to dissolve it.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
