The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
Erosion is the moving of sediment from one place to another place. Deposition is the settling of particles suspended in air, ice, or water due to gravity or friction.Read more: The_process_through_which_sediment_is_laid_down_in_new_locations

Yes, chemical weathering affects the high plains. The high plains are primarily composed of sedimentary rocks, which are susceptible to chemical weathering processes such as dissolution and oxidation. Over time, these processes can break down the rocks and alter their composition, leading to changes in the landscape of the high plains.
These are physical changes.

mechanical weathering (by wind or water or perhaps tenacious plant roots or human activities)

Chemical changes
The rearranging of the chemical make-up of matter is called a chemical reaction. This is what will constitute a chemical change as it will alter the chemical composition.
Weathering and erosion would alter the shape of a rock, as would the application of stress possibly combined with high(er) temperature conditions.
