Is erosion a physical change or a chemical change?

This is a physical change because wind and erosion are part of the physical category. Chemical change is where things happen involving actual chemicals . Wether the chemicals are from nature or not , Chemicals are chemicals. hope this helped ;] ~Lily

Yes, it is undoubtly physical itself. The cause of easy breaking eg. after chemical detoriation of its fibrous structure by molds can be chemical. The force by which it's breaking (wind, gravity) is physical however.

Is abrasion a chemical or physical change?

In most situations, erosion is a physical process. It occurs when a medium (usually air or water) displaces another substance, changing its physical appearance and/or shape. One example is a steel plate that has a steady stream of water running or dripping on it. Over time, the water will create a depression in the steel, despite the steel being much harder than the water. Another example would be wind or rain washing sand from a hill, changing the shape, and eventually even the size, of the hill. The Silver Lake Sand Dunes on the west side of Michigan have been changed dramatically by the wind over the last 140 years, literally burying whole trees and even buildings. Sometimes the erosion process can contribute to chemical reactions. These reactions are called Erosion Corrosion or Flow Accelerated Corrosion. (Please see the related links below.)
