How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
Refers to the group of destructive processes that change the physical and chemical character of rocks at the earth's surface?
Weathering
Does physical weathering increase chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.
Is water freezing in cracks in rocks physical or chemical weathering?
Physical.
Explain different chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering rocks may decompose or dissolve and at the same time change in compostion through a certain chemical process to form residuals materials. Mechanical weathering happens when rocks disintegrate or breaks down into smaller pieces through physical forces. (rain, snow, freezing)
What is different between physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
Weathering of rocks is a physical or a chemical change?
yes
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
What is a physical or chemical change that breaks rocks into fragments?
Weathering is the term used to describe the reduction in the size of a rock by chemical or physical means.
What are some differences of physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is due to: rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up from the action of frost and ice the action of wind or waves or running water the action of plants. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to: water dissolving minerals in the rock oxidation of metals in the rock

Weathering
What are two ways that chemical weathering changes rocks?
Physical and Chemical
Does physical weathering increase chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.
Does chemical weathering change the chemicals in rocks?
Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
Is weathering of rocks a physical change?
yes
What is the product of physical and chemical weathering of rocks?
Sand and grit.
