Plant growth is both a chemical and mechanical process. The roots secrete mild acids that dissolve minerals in rocks, and the plant's roots and stems can increase in size and force rocks apart inside cracks and crevices.

∙ 11y agoAnimals can cause both mechanical and chemical weathering of rock. The actions of walking, scratching, clawing, digging, tunneling, and scurrying about are enough to cause the breaking of rock into smaller particles (mechanical weathering), and the secretions and waste of some will cause chemical weathering. Most weathering caused by animals, however, is mechanical.

What is rushing water is it mechanical chemical or nuclear?
Rushing water is a physical phenomenon caused by the movement of water, and it is not related to mechanical, chemical, or nuclear processes. It is the result of the kinetic energy generated by the flow of water.
How do you convert chemical to mechanical?
Coal is a chemical compound which contains chemical energy. To convert coal into mechanical energy, you use it (burn it) to produce heat and use the heat to boil water, the steam from which will drive a steam engine which delivers mechanical energy.

If a rock lets in water and air is this chemical or mechanical?
I'm not sure if the act of letting water into wood, or a rock would fall under either chemical or mechanical. Probably more on the mechanical side.However, if the water freezes, thaws, and refreezes, then mechanical degradation can happen to the wood or stone.
