What are the effects of weathering on rocks?
Content: a change in climate affecting the weathering of rocks. Warming climatic conditions may bring about more precipitation, which would cause more weathering. At this point-in-time, we know the climate is changing, we know ice is melting, but there is historical evidence (geologic) that there have been times when the overall climate was much warmer — warmer than the dire predictions put forth by ”anthropomorphic” (man-caused (only)) climate-change. As an example, sea level data from the 1880’s to present shows a continual rise. ( Climate Change: Global Sea Level ). Was mankind the ONLY cause of this change? Maybe not. This is not to deny accelerated climatic change and desertification caused by human intervention (examples may be found in the middle east, Africa, Easter Island and other localities). The Sahara and portions of Africa have undergone radically changed climatic conditions over a period of time measured in tens, or hundreds-of-thousands of years — as evidenced by rock-art depicting animals that required water, such as Hippos and alligators.
