Well, that's kind of the whole point, right? Weather slowly wears down rock. It isn't discernible in the short term, but over a long period, you can see how sun, wind, rain, freezing, flooding, and all the different effects of weather slowly affect the landscape.

How do plants contribute to mechanical weathering?
They produce acids that can weather rocks and minerals that dissolves the rocks
What type of weathering is a process by which softer less weather resistant rocks are worn away leaving more weather resistant rocks exposed?
Differential weathering
How do people contribute to weathering of rocks?
We excavate them for many uses, we produce acid rain that erodes carbonate rocks, and we cut down forests, exposing rocks to weathering from rain and increased runoff.
How do chemicals contribute to weathering?
Chemicals react with rocks and minerals or dissolve rocks and minerals.
How does soil contribute in breaking down rocks?
Soil doesn't really contribute to the breaking down of rocks soil is the end product of the breaking down of rocks. Rocks are broken down by weathering processes such as physical weathering, chemical weathering or biological weathering the material after the rock breaks down combined with organic material creates soil.
What is chemical weathering of rocks?
Where rocks get either smoothed out or layers taken of by the weather.
What is different between physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
They contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
How both tree roots and prairie dogs mechanically weather rocks?

How do physical and chemical weather combine to weather rocks?
well physical weathering is when it breaks down rocks and chemical weathering is when rocks are dissolved or loosened so i suppose that it would be that over a certain amount of time goes by, the more weathering occurs. i hope that answers your question! (:
What causes rocks on the beach to be smooth?
By weathering. The water currents weather the rocks leaving them smooth.
The process by which exposure to weather breaks down rocks and minerals?
Weathering
