How might more than one agent of mechanical weathering operate in the same place?
By being in the same area or Causing weathering at the same time or place
What occurs during the weathering process?
There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.
Does weathering must take place before erosion?
Not exactly, when erosion occurs weathering is happening.' Weathering is almost the same thing as erosion, but not completely.
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
Compare and contrast mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering provides fresh surfaces for attack by chemical processes, and chemical weathering weakens the rock so that it is more susceptible to mechanical weathering.

Is weathering same as physical weathering?
No weathering is not the same as physical weathering.Kayla
Do rocks always remain the same?
No. The rocks are constantly expose a geodynamic processes that after thousands or years finally result in the formation of others rock with different characteristics. The processes that affect a rock depend in the kind of rock and the place in the earth structure it is located. But rock in the earth surface are expose to weathering that can be produce by physical or chemical factors. The final result of the weathering is the fragmentation of the rock in particles and transportation of these particles by wind or water to a different place. In this different place the particles will participated in the formation of new rocks. This is the simple explanation of formation cycle of sedimentary rocks.
What process take place at the same temperature?
These are called isothermic processes.
Why does a pile of small rocks wear away more quickly than a single solid boulder of the same size?
There is more surface area available to attack from the processes of weathering.
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
Is mechanical and physical weathering the same?
Yes they are the same.
Do weathering and erosion happen at the same time?
not always but alot of the time they do occur at the same time it is possible
Compare and contrast mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering provides fresh surfaces for attack by chemical processes, and chemical weathering weakens the rock so that it is more susceptible to mechanical weathering.
Is chemical weathering and chemical reaction the same?
Yes, chemical weathering involve chemical reactions.
