Compare and contrast chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Mechanical weathering is taking a big rock and breaking it down to small rocks by releasing pressure, freezing and thawing (water and ice), animal action, plant growth and abrasion. Chemical weathering is when a rock loses it shape but STILL IS MADE OF THE SAME METRICAL. Chemical weathering uses water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organism, and acid rain.

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.

Compare and contrast weathering and erosion?
Factors: Erosion occurs because of factors like wind, water, ice, human activities like deforestation etc. Weathering, on the other hand is caused by contact with the earth's atmosphere. These atmospheric conditions may be heat, pressure etc. Movement: Erosion is caused by the movement of eroding agents while in weathering there is no movement. Weathering is caused when rocks come in contact with atmospheric conditions but there is no movement involved of either of the components.

Compare and contrast mechanical digestion and chemical digestion?
Mechanical Digestion (or physical digestion) is more about the mouth. It's chewing, biting, breaking down, and sofening the food. This is why its called "Mechanical" Digestion.Mechanical digestion involves the pulverizing and crushing of food particles, usually by chewing. Chemical digestion occurs through the secretion of digestive juices.
