How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
What are the agents of biological weathering?
The agents of "weathering" is both the agents of the physical and the chemical weathering combined. Agents of physical weathering can be: wind, water, sun, ice, gravity, rain, etc. Agents of chemical weathering may be: acid from roots, acid rain, oxidation/reduction (rusting), carbon dioxide, etc. They are the same because both physical and chemical weathering lead to erosion of rocks. In other words, both help rocks break down into smaller pieces. They are also the same because both physical and chemical weathering can occur with the same agent. For example, TREES. The roots of trees release acid to break down rocks (chemical weathering) while the roots of trees also grow into the cracks of rocks and help break them apart (physical weathering). Note that weathering is just the beginning process of erosion. Erosion is when stuff actually breaks down into smaller pieces.
Compare and contrast mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering provides fresh surfaces for attack by chemical processes, and chemical weathering weakens the rock so that it is more susceptible to mechanical weathering.
Is the erosion and weathering a chemical change?
Both are mechanical, physical changes, involving the removal of surface material by the action of wind or water. But both can also involve chemical changes which would tend to change the rate of erosion or weathering - for example, acidic rain might cause limestone to weather faster than neutral rain water would.
What influences both chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
tectonic plates
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
Is weathering a physical or chemical change?
physical change
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
How can a river both cause a chemical and physical weathering?
Water is a major component in weathering process. Its essential for all forms of disintegration either Mechanical/Physical, Biological or Chemical. Water aids in physical weathering through alternating wetting and drying of rocks thereby leading to breaking down of the rock. It helps in chemical weathering through dissolution of chemicals in rocks such as limestone. Water is a cause of both chemical and physical weathering.
Is sinkholes forming chemical or physical weathering?
both i think
How can water cause both chemicals and physical weathering?
chemical: where the slight acidity of the rain cause a slow erosion. physical: where rain erodes the object quicker than chemical.
Does sandstone go through physical or chemical weathering?
It can experience both.

Is shale formed by physical or chemical weathering?
Shale is a clastic sedimentary rock formed of clay and silt sized eroded particles that are a result of both physical and chemical weathering. The clay minerals, however are the result of chemical weathering of feldspars.
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering similar?
It would be easier to say how they are different. Both physical and chemical weathering can cause pitting, erosion of material and degradation of optical properties, making glass surfaces less reflective or transmissive.
What is the process of weathering of rocks in pench?
basically you find both physical and chemical weathering in pench.there is a cave in pench where there are rocks formed by chemical weathering. hope this answer is ok. my love to all who find this useful :)
How are weathering and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
