Is a type of physical weathering.?
Frost wedging
What is an example of abrasion weathering?
Abrasion is a Physical /Mechanical weathering .Abrasion is the process of wearing down or rubbing away.
What type of weathering takes place in moderate temperature?
Biological weathering takes place in moderate temperatures. Abrasion weathering is caused by moving water or wind. That can happen in moderate temperatures.
Abrasion is an example of mechanical weathering?
yes
Is glacier action chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering for example freeze-thew process or abrasion.
Is a type of physical weathering.?
Frost wedging
Is abrasion chemical or mechanical weathering?
Abrasion is Mechanical Weathering.
The gradual wearing away or breaking down rocks by abrasion is a type of what weathering?
Mechanical Weathering.
Abrasion caused by particles in water is a type of what?
It is a form of mechanical weathering.
What is an example of abrasion weathering?
Abrasion is a Physical /Mechanical weathering .Abrasion is the process of wearing down or rubbing away.
Is abrasion physical weathering or chemical weathering?
it is physical weathering
What type of weathering is the gradual wearing away or breaking down of rocks by abrasion?
physical
What is weathering wind?
Wind weathering is the process were small sediments and/or sand is brushed against rocks due to abrasion.
Weathering by abrasion is usually caused by?
Wind-blown sand causes Mechanical Weathering of rocks by abrasion
What type of weathering takes place in moderate temperature?
Biological weathering takes place in moderate temperatures. Abrasion weathering is caused by moving water or wind. That can happen in moderate temperatures.
What kind of weathering is wind erosion?
This weathering is called ABRASION
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
