Question
Explain four effects of weathering.
Answer
- Weathering leads to the formation of soil important to man for agriculture.
- Weathered rocks offer beautiful sceneries for tourist attractions.
- Weathering breaks rocks making mining easier. Weathering also produces minerals such as bauxite.
- Weathering reduces sizes of rocks providing suitable materials for construction e.g. rock blocks and sand.
- Weathered crust of the earth is important to engineering, for it is necessary to establish how deep it is and remove so as to construct buildings on firm foundation.
