It is where the effects of the weather have an impact of the coast/land. Physical/mechanical processes include: freeze-thaw, thermal expansion, salt crystalisation and wetting and drying. Chemical processes include: hydration, hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. Biological weathering is done by animals, plants, and humic acid.
All these processes need organic material present to occur, whether it is living or dead.
