The differences are that mechanical weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller pieces by forces due to gravity, corrosion, freezing (dilatation of the material) and melting of water, plant roots, or other forces. (The mechanical does it physically)
So then chemical weathering is the changing of materials in a rock by chemical processes, for example acidic rains action, solubility of some components, chemical reactions, thermal decomposition, etc.

How are physical weathering and chemical weathering alike and different?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both involve the breakdown of rocks, but through different processes. Physical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rock composition through chemical reactions with substances like water, oxygen, and acids. Both processes contribute to the overall erosion of rocks and landforms over time.
How are the types of weathering alike?
Both mechanical and chemical weathering processes involve the breakdown of rocks, but their mechanisms differ. Mechanical weathering physically breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, whereas chemical weathering involves the alteration of the rock's mineral composition through chemical reactions. Both types of weathering ultimately contribute to the process of soil formation.
How are mechanical and chemical alike?
piece of cake!
How are chemical weathering and mechanical weathering alike?
Mechanical weathering results from abrasion of a surface chipping away at the surface and removing small pieces. Chemical weather results from chemical reactions occurring between the material of the surface and the surrounding environment. In both cases small amounts of material may be removed gradually through the weathering process. Because a surface may not be homogeneous, some parts will be more resistant to mechanical weathering than others, resulting in pitting where the material is weaker. Likewise, a heterogeneous surface will exhibit pitting from chemical weathering as the environment preferentially attacks the portions of the surface that are richer in the more reactive materials - again resulting in pitting.
How is chemical and physical weathering alike?
I guess they both created to world as we know it today and helped create new rocks and made new soil from smaller rocks and sediments.
How is erosion and weathering alike?
erosion is the transfer of weathered rocks or soil from one place to another while weathering is the break down of rocks into smaller pieces.....they are alike probably by the fact that water, air, animals, humans or chemicals causes both to occur
How are sound waves and seismic waves alike?
they're mechanical waves
How are unit fractions alike and different?
The answer depends on what they are meant to be alike and different from!
Are seahorse or jellyfish alike?
No, They are not alike as they have different size, features. There might be a similarity but in my view they arent alike. There food is different, there way of living is also different so in my opinion they are not alike.
Are the offers alike or different?
i think alike
