Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
Explain the difference between chemical properties and physical properties?
physical property happens by itself or from things in nature. chemical property happens by outside.
Is the property of copper a physical or a chemical property explain?
Copper has both chemical and physical properties. You will need to specify which property you are asking about
Can matter undergo changes in both its physical and its chemical properties Explain please?
No.
Is stone breaking a physical change?
Breaking of stone is a physical or chemical change? Explain.

Explain different chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering rocks may decompose or dissolve and at the same time change in compostion through a certain chemical process to form residuals materials. Mechanical weathering happens when rocks disintegrate or breaks down into smaller pieces through physical forces. (rain, snow, freezing)
Explain the difference between chemical properties and physical properties?
physical property happens by itself or from things in nature. chemical property happens by outside.
How do you explain the three types of weathering?
That is something that would show up in bold print in your text book. It's not stupid. physical chemical biological Physical weathering breaks rocks down into smaller pieces. Types of physical weathering include frost wedging, exfoliation, and thermal expansion. Chemical weathering breaks rocks down chemically adding or removing chemical elements, and changes them into other materials. Chemical weathering consists of chemical reactions, most of which involve water. Types of chemical weathering include: dissolution hydrolysis oxidation Biological weathering is the breakdown of rock caused by the action of living organisms, including plants, burrowing animals, and lichen (a crusty, rubbery, light green organic material that grows in patches on rocks as well as on wood). Lichen is a combination of fungus and algae, living together in a symbiotic relationship. Lichens can live on bare rock, and they break down rocks by secreting acids and other chemicals. The fungal part of the association secretes the acids, which react to dissolve the minerals, which are then used by the algae. Later, water seeps into the crevices etched by the acid, and assists in the breakdown through freezing (frost-wedging) and chemical weathering.
Is twisting a wire chemical or physical change explain?
It is physical. The wire changes shape, but it is still made of the same materials.
Explain how a plant can break a rock?
Mechanical Weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means.Agents of mechanical weathering include ice,wind,water,gravity...
Is the property of copper a physical or a chemical property explain?
Copper has both chemical and physical properties. You will need to specify which property you are asking about
Is it a chemical or physical change when heat is put over sugar?
its physical change.to explain,the conversion of solid to liquid is physical
What is weathering and erosion and explain weathering and erosion?
weathering and erosion are steps that happen when it rains.
Can matter undergo changes in both its physical and its chemical properties Explain please?
No.
Can you explain the difference between physical changes and chemical changes?
Physical changes is change in property. Ex) change from solid to liquid....ice to water. Chemical change changes to different substances. Ex) rotting of fruit.
When the banana, berries, water, and hot dog are blended, does a physical or chemical change occur?
both physical and chemical change occur
