What causes mechanical weathering to blow sand against exposed rock?
Wind
What mechanical weathering causes rock to flake off in layers?
Chemical.
What is the natural process that causes rock to breakdown?
Weathering from mechanical and chemical means is the process that causes rocks to become smaller and smaller; wind, rain, the sun, the freeze/thaw cycle, moving glaciers, chemical reactions, and gravity are some of the causes of weathering.
In general what causes desert pavement A. Wind erosion B. Water erosion C. Mechanical weathering D. Chemical weathering?
wind erosin
How can people influence mechanical weathering?
Well, it's pretty simple. Mechanical weathering is the type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces, so a lot of things we do cause weathering. For example: mining and construction. When we mine, we slowly break down the earth's crust. Same goes for construction. Even walking across a road of gravel causes mechanical weathering! Hope I answered yourquestion! :)

How many main causes cause mechanical weathering?
4 main causes cause mechanical weathering!
What type of weathering causes exfoliation?
Exfoliation is primarily caused by physical weathering processes such as thermal expansion and contraction, where daily and seasonal temperature changes cause rocks to expand and contract, leading to the outer layers of rock peeling off in sheets. This process is especially common in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations like deserts.
What causes mechanical weathering by blowing sand and exposed rock?
Acid rain that comes from pollution can damage exposed rocks over time.

What are the two causes of mechanical weathering?
If you want to draw something of mechanical weathering like me then i got the idea for you draw a rock with cracks and a concrete house with no roof at the top mechanical weathering
What causes the mechanical weathering in the Sahara?
Mechanical weathering in the Sahara is mainly caused by the wind. Other weathering is also caused by freezing temperatures and extreme heat.
Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
