That is something that would show up in bold print in your text book. It's not stupid.

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.

What are three different ways in which rocks are weathered?
the three types of weathering is:chemical,physical andbiological weathering.
Different types of weathering?
The three types of weathering are: Physical, Chemical and Biological weathering. Weathering is a method by which rocks are progressively worn away by the action of the weather.
Explian the four types of mechanical weathering?
ice wedging/frost wedging, pressure release, plant root growth, abrasion.
What are three types of stream deposits?
The three types of stream loads are dissolved load, suspended load, and bed loads. I hope this helps! :D
How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering

the 3 types of weathering are: Chemical Weathering Biological Weathering Physical Weathering
Explanations of the three types of weathering?
chemical weathering is when a chemical reacts with a rock to brake down a rock.
What are three different ways in which rocks are weathered?
the three types of weathering is:chemical,physical andbiological weathering.
Type of physical weathering?
Therew is only to types of weathering in my knowledge and they are Mechanical and Chemical (in scientific term). Mechanical is also know as physical.
