The act of cutting the tree is a physical change. However, there are chemical changes that take place as a result of cutting the tree. All plants have an ability to "feel" when they are being damaged and the plant cells around the damaged ones stiffen to attempt to prevent further damage.

Is cutting trees is physical or chemical change?
chemical change..... we just talked about this in science today and that is what my teacher said
Is cutting of tree a chemical change?
No. Trees' leaves change colors beacuase when winter comes around, they will not have the energy to keep leaves, so they seal off the leaves from the rest of the tree. When the leaves are cut off from the rest of the tree, the chlorophyll in them dies, and turns brown.
Is egg cooking is a physical or chemical change?
This is a chemical change. Remember: An easy way to determine whether or not a change is chemical or physical is to ask if the process is reversible. Take the evaporation of water into account. When water evaporates, it can condense back into liquid water. It can be reversed because it is a physical change. Chemical changes are often permanent. Take the burning of wood, for example. This is a chemical change. Once you light wood on fire, it turns into gas. Only the trees and plants around you can take this gas and through photosynthesis, turn it back into wood. So it is a non-reversible process, and is a chemical process.
How do landslides caused by cutting trees affect the ecosystem?
Landslides caused by cutting trees affect the ecosystem by destroying habitat where many animals and even people live. The landslides actually change the contours of the land sometimes rerouting rivers.
What is man-cutting?
man is cutting trees which destroys "OUR" life

Why cutting of trees is physical change?
Becuase it will grow again making it a reversible change thus physical

Is wedging of the tree roots along natural joints in granite outcrops chemical?
The growth of tree roots is chemical, wedging(?), pushing thru the ground(?), would be a physical change.
Growing of hair is it a chemical or physical change?
No: its a physical changeAdded correction:It is chemical because you can not simply revert it (newly grown hair) back to its original compounds like keratine.Hair (newly grown) is a product of many (bio)chemical synthesis reactions.It is much the same as growing grass or trees or even animals and humans.
When leaves fall from the trees is it a physical or chemical change?
chemical change.change, added on to by upupin-I believe it changed color because of the chlorophyll that dies off because the length of sunlight hours decreases during winter time
Is growing a flower a chemical or physical change?
A tree growing is a chemical change because the chemical reaction that happens in the trees cells causes the carbon dioxide and water to become sugar (food) for the plant to grow and oxygen it can "exhale" much like we exhale carbon dioxide.

How does chemical change occur during a tornado?
A tornado is a physical process, not chemical. Tornadoes, though can sometimes start fires by breaking gas lines.
Does cutting trees with a chain saw cause a chemical change in the wood. why or why not?
Yes and no. The tree (the wood fiber) undergoes a mechanical change from the chainsaw blades. The friction from the blades causes heat, which in turn causes a chemical change- the wood begins to burn. This bonds the cellulose with oxygen and that is why often there is smoke produced.
