Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.

How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
What is an non example of physical weathering?
What are non examples for physical weathering
What are the factors that control the rate of chemical weathering and those that control the rate of physical weathering?
Temperature is another significant factor in chemical weathering because it influences the rate at which chemical interactions occur. Chemical reactions rates increase as temperatures increases. With all other factors being equal, the rate of chemical weathering reactions doubles with each 10C increase in temperature.
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering alike and different?
how are physical weathering and chenical weathering alike and different
What are physical and chemical weathering?
Physical Weathering: is when a rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical Weathering: is when the rock change due to different chemical reactions.
Is abrasion physical weathering or chemical weathering?
it is physical weathering
Are chemicals from plants physical or chemical weathering?
Is chemicals from plants chemical weathering or physical weathering
Is weathering a physical or chemical change?
physical change
What is different between physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
Is a road way is a physical weathering or chemical weathering?
chemical
Is fog a physical or chemical weathering?
Fog is a chemical weathering.
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering alike?
how are physical weathering and chenical weathering alike and different
Does chemical weathering involve water?
Chemical weathering does not involve water, that is physical weathering
What is an non example of physical weathering?
What are non examples for physical weathering
How does physical weathering make the job easier for chemical weathering?
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
What are the factors that control the rate of chemical weathering and those that control the rate of physical weathering?
Temperature is another significant factor in chemical weathering because it influences the rate at which chemical interactions occur. Chemical reactions rates increase as temperatures increases. With all other factors being equal, the rate of chemical weathering reactions doubles with each 10C increase in temperature.
