In addition, please help me answer the following:When a rock is mechanically weathered how does its surface area change? How does this influence chemical weathering?
Three common cements for sedimentary rocks are calcite, silica, and iron oxide. Each can be identified by calcite cement will fizz with dilute hydrochloric acid, silica is the hardest cement producing the hardest sedimentary rocks, and sedimentary rocks with an iron oxide cement has an orange or red color.
