There is Chemical, Biological and Physical
Chemical is when acid rain weathers the rock
Biological is when a plant grows in a rock and the plant roots grow into the rock (it breaks its way through)
Physical is when something hits the rock and slowly it breaks away this more like erosion

- Biological Weathering
- Physical Weathering
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth's surface, by the action of rainwater, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical and biological.

∙ 8y agoTypes of chemical weathering are;
- Carbonation - dissolved carbon dioxide in rain or moisture in the air forms carbonic acid and reacts with minerals in rocks, weakening the rock and breaking it down.
- Hydrolysis - chemical reaction between hydrogen in rain and minerals in rocks; feldspar in granite changes to easily crumbled clayminerall, weakening rock and causing it to break down.
- Oxidation - oxygen combines with water and minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, in rock. When iron reacts with oxygen, an iron oxide crust, which crumbles easily and weakens the rock, is formed.
- Solution - the process in which minerals in rocks dissolve in water.
- Hydraition - minerals in rocks absorb water and expand, creating stress which results in the disintegration of rocks.

How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
Different types of weathering?
The three types of weathering are: Physical, Chemical and Biological weathering. Weathering is a method by which rocks are progressively worn away by the action of the weather.
What are three different ways in which rocks are weathered?
the three types of weathering is:chemical,physical andbiological weathering.
How the rates of mechanical and chemical weathering might different in the Congolese rain forest and the Siberian steppes?
The rates of mechanical weathering does not affect anything since the chemical properties remain unchanged. Only chemical weathering affects the chemical properties of an object.
Is erosion chemical weathering?
No. Erosion usually involves the transportation of material from one place to another place. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of natural Earth materials with acidic fluids, causing dissolution.
What are four different types of chemical weathering?
The four different types of chemical weathering are hydration, oxidation, carbonic acid action and hydrolysis. Chemical weathering is a chemical reaction that erodes certain things such as building materials and rocks.
What are the different types of weathers?
Mechanical weathering, Biological weathering and Chemical weathering.
How are weathering and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
Are the three types of weathering?
biological weathering , physical weathering & chemical weathering.
What are the three weathering?
the 3 types of weathering are: Chemical Weathering Biological Weathering Physical Weathering
What are the 3 main types of weathering?
The 3 main types of weathering are: mechanical, chemical, and biological weathering.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?

Explanations of the three types of weathering?
chemical weathering is when a chemical reacts with a rock to brake down a rock.
How are chemical and physical weathering different and alike?
