Abrasion and Frost
The 2 kinds of weathering are the Mechanical or Physical Weathering and the Mechanical Weathering.
Two examples of mechanical weathering are frost wedging, where water freezes in cracks in rocks and expands, causing them to break apart, and root wedging, where plant roots grow into cracks and exert pressure, leading to rock fragmentation.
Mechanical weathering examples include frost wedging, where water seeps into cracks in rocks and freezes, expanding and breaking the rock. Chemical weathering examples include acid rain, where pollutants in the atmosphere react with water to form acidic precipitation that can erode rock surfaces over time.
Mechanical weathering means erosion by physical means.Wind and water are examples of mechanical weathering.Mechanical weathering changes rock into sand.
Physical weathering or mechanical weathering.
Frost wedging & exfoliation are common terms associated with mechanical weathering.

The two kinds of weathering are mechanical weathering, which breaks down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, and chemical weathering, which alters the chemical composition of rocks through processes like oxidation or dissolution.
Two examples of weathering are mechanical weathering, such as when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by physical forces like wind or water, and chemical weathering, which occurs when rocks are broken down by chemical reactions like oxidation or dissolving.
Mechanical weathering is physical changes that break down and/or cracks the rock, such as ice wedging, temperature changes, root growth, or animal activity. Chemical weathering is a chemical change that changes the chemicals of the substance to make a new one. Examples of chemical weathering include oxidation, acid rain, hydration, and carbonation.
