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 ;]

∙ 13y agoits really a chemical reaction. take the Statue of Liberty for example. it was originally a bronze colored statue, as time went on the bronze color started turning green from the rain water, and the reactions from the air
But that is not erosion. That is a chemical change caused by oxidation (rust). Erosion removes part of the material, it is a physical change.

∙ 12y agoErosion is when something that is already weathered away is transported some where else. E.g Acid rain will wear down certain rocks and then the wind/water will transport it some where else. so it would be neither chemical or physical change.
Erosion is a physical change because it involves the physical breakdown and movement of materials without changing their chemical composition.

Is a erosion caused by wind a chemical change?
No, erosion caused by wind is a physical change, not a chemical change. The wind is simply moving particles of rock or soil from one place to another without altering their chemical composition.
Is erosion of a riverbed by water a chemical change or a physical change?
Erosion of a riverbed by water is a physical change. This is because the water is physically wearing down the riverbed by the force of its flow, rather than causing a chemical reaction to occur.
Is corrosiveness a physical change or a chemical change?
Corrosion represents a CHEMICAL change.
Is the rock cycle a chemical change or physical change?
The rock cycle involves both physical and chemical changes. Physical changes involve processes like weathering and erosion that break down rocks physically. Chemical changes occur when minerals in the rocks react with water or gases to form new minerals.
Is peeling an apple a physical or chemical change?

Is soil erosion a chemical or physical change?
I'm 13 and I know for a fact that soil erosion is physically changed.
Is erosion of a riverbed by water a chemical change or a physical change?
Erosion of a riverbed by water is a physical change. This is because the water is physically wearing down the riverbed by the force of its flow, rather than causing a chemical reaction to occur.
Is erosion of sandstone physical or chemical?
Physical.
Is a burning wood into ashes and smoke a physical or chemical change?
Burning wood is a chemical change - although, like most chemical changes it is accompanied by a physical change. Usually we reserve the term physical changes for things like erosion, melting, or evaporation where no change in composition occurs.
What are three things that can change sedimentary rocks?
Pressure, heat, & erosion. There are chemical, physical, and biological changes.
Is Cleaning a painted surface with acid a chemical or physical change?

Is corrosiveness a physical change or a chemical change?
Corrosion represents a CHEMICAL change.
Is crushing charcoal into powder a physical or chemical change?
Crushing charcoal into powder is a physical change, as it alters the size and shape of the charcoal without changing its chemical composition.
