Question

which type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountainous regions in the middle latitudes?. A)oxidation. B)frost wedging. C)unloadin. D)biological activity

Answer 1

The correct answer is - B) frost wedging.

In the middle latitudes, the mountains, especially the higher ones, experience lots of snow and ice during few months of the year. The ice is well known for its weathering abilities, and this is because it expands, so it creates a lot of pressure on the body in which the ice is, thus breaks it over time, and contributing to the weathering process in a mechanical manner.

Answer 2

The most common type of mechanical weathering in mountainous regions in the middle latitudes is B)frost wedging.
