Physical weathering is due to:
rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up
from the action of frost and ice
the action of wind or waves or running water
the action of plants.
Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to:
water dissolving minerals in the rock
oxidation of metals in the rock

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.
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering alike and different?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both involve the breakdown of rocks, but through different processes. Physical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rock composition through chemical reactions with substances like water, oxygen, and acids. Both processes contribute to the overall erosion of rocks and landforms over time.
Is abrasion physical weathering or chemical weathering?
it is physical weathering
Are chemicals from plants physical or chemical weathering?
Is chemicals from plants chemical weathering or physical weathering
Is a road way is a physical weathering or chemical weathering?
chemical
Is fog a physical or chemical weathering?
Fog is a chemical weathering.
What of these does not cause physical weathering?
Chemical weathering does not cause physical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while physical weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
How does physical weathering make the job easier for chemical weathering?
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
Is weathering a physical or chemical change?
Weathering can involve both physical and chemical changes. Physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, such as through freezing and thawing. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, alters the chemical makeup of rocks through processes like oxidation or dissolution.
What is an non example of physical weathering?
An example of a non-physical weathering process is chemical weathering, where rocks are broken down by chemical reactions rather than physical forces like temperature changes or abrasion.
