Freeze/thaw cycles are an example of mechanical weathering of rock.
It is considered mechanical weathering because it is physical.
Freezing and Thawing is an example of Mechanical Weathering.
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition, usually by processes such as frost wedging or root expansion. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, involves changes in the chemical composition of rocks due to reactions with substances like water, acid rain, or oxygen, leading to the breakdown of minerals.
Is repeated freezing and thawing of water that cracks rocks
Freezing and thawing.
Freezing and Thawing, Release of pressure. Growth of plants, actions of animals & Abrasion.
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
Freezing and thawing.
Physical weathering or mechanical weathering.
they both shape the earths surface and so in that way it shapes rocks. Mechanical weathering has release of pressure freezing and thawing and so on and so on
