Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.

What is the difference between physical and chemical weathering change?
chemical weathering change will most likely make a new substance
What are non-examples of mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering is physical changes that break down and/or cracks the rock, such as ice wedging, temperature changes, root growth, or animal activity. Chemical weathering is a chemical change that changes the chemicals of the substance to make a new one. Examples of chemical weathering include oxidation, acid rain, hydration, and carbonation.
What occurs during the weathering process?
There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.
What type of weathering would sanding a rough board to make shelves be?
chemical weathering
What is the diffence between chemical weathering and physical weathering?
Chemical and biological weathering are different because: a) biological weathering - this means that if a seed of a plant gets coincidentally deposited in a crack in a rock, if it is humid enough, the see will grow. it's roots will spread out and eventually break the rock. b) chemical weathering - this means that chemicals in rain/acid rain weathers away the rock.
How do you make a crack rock bigger?
chemical weathering.
What are the cuases of chemical weathering?
two or more chemicals' mix to make a new chemical
What type of change would slow the chemical weathering of the soil?
Ice wedging would help slow chemical weathering and make the soil more fertile.
How does chemical weathering make it easy for mechanical weathering to occur?
because the rat ate the rat and ate itself
Can physical weathering make a rock bigger?
Physical weathering is mechanical action which typically erodes rock faces. This invariably results in a smaller rock. Chemical weathering involves water absorption or other reactions. Mechanical heating and freezing can crack and fissure the rock, slightly increasing its size. In general, physical weathering is an abrading process, whether via water born sediment wearing away the rock, or wind blown particles sand blasting the rock, and these actions make reduce the rock's size.
What is three ways in which weak acids can cause chemical weathering of rock?
well the acid rain will make the plants die but chemical weathering can help pastad is a yellow grainy shadow to help the sentaped weathering breaks into the soil
A process that changes the minerals that make up rocks?
I believe it is physical weathering
