How rocks are mechanically weatherd?
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.
What is it called when rocks in sections parallel to the surface of the rock?
Exfoliation
What are the effects of exfoliation of rocks?
when rocks expand with pressure
What is called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition?
Mechanical weathering.
What is the breaking of rocks due constant expansion and contraction called?
Exfoliation.
What is the breaking of rocks due to constant expansion and contractions called?
Exfoliation.
