Yes, gravity can cause mechanical weathering through processes like mass wasting, where gravity causes rocks and debris to move downhill. Ice can also cause mechanical weathering through frost wedging, where repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks and crevices causes rocks to break apart.
Yes, mechanical weathering.
Ice wedging is a type of mechanical weathering.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
Mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces by freezing and thawing,release of pressure, growth of plants, action of animals, and abrasion
