Which of the following is an example of Chemical Weathering that affects an Ecoregion in Texas? Ob
Big Bend National Park is located in the Chihuahuan Desert. Weathering of the limestone cliffs in this region takes place because
of acid rain
In the Piney Woods ecoregion, seasonal flooding occurs along the riverbanks. Sediments are carried and deposited in different
locations along the river route. The thick areas of vegetation help to inhibit river erosion.
The Guadalupe Mountains and the Davis Mountains are located in the Chihuahuan Desert ecoregion, making it the most
mountainous area of Texas. In general, soil in this region is eroded due to the decline of grasslands.
In the Edwards Plateau/Llano Uplift ecoregion, there is an unusual dome of granite called Enchanted Rock. The Enchanted Rock
experiences exfoliation. Exfoliation is a process in which the surface of rock weather by peeling into sheets instead of breaking
down into small sediments, caused by water freezing and melting into cracks in the rock.
