When rocks are broken down without any change to their chemical compositions it is mechanical weathering. Causes of mechanical weathering are Freezing and melting of water, Abrasion, when the rock is weather by an abrasive agent such as wind and sand, and exfoliation occurs when a rock is brought to the surface.

Process by which weatherd materials are carried away?

The process by which weathered materials are carried away is called erosion. Erosion can be caused by various agents such as water, wind, ice, or gravity, which transport the weathered materials from their original location to a new destination. Over time, erosion can reshape the Earth's surface by wearing down rocks and moving sediment to different areas.
