The processes for mechanical weathering are what change the rock completely. In chemical, it's what changes the rock into something different.
For mechanical, there are four types of weathering.
1) Abrasion: Sand and rock particles are carried by wind, water or ice and wear away exposed rock surfaces.
2) Exfoliation: (heating and cooling of the rock)
3) Bioturbation: * roots of trees and other plants enter cracks in rocks and eventually break them. * An animal that burrows in the ground.
4) Frost action/ ice wedging: When water enters a rock and freezes which makes the rock expand and therefore, make the crack bigger. (Think of this like snow and ice and the side walks.)
the three types of mech. weather are organic matter,ice wedging, and abrasion
Chemical Weathering, Physical Weathering, and Mechanical Weathering
Weathering, erosion, and deposition. Earth's surface could also be built up by volcanism.
ice wedging,pressure release, plant root growth,and abarsion.
Rock masses are composed of horizontal layers of hard & soft rocks. Mechanical weathering causes the opening of such joints on the rock surface. Wind abrasion through the joints wear away the softer rocks & form grooves & fissures, while the harder rocks stand above as ridges. These features are known as Zeugen, which are common in Soneran Desert of U.S.A.

Mechanical processes.
Some of the physical processes that can produce fertile soil are the various types of rock weathering. There is mechanical weathering and thermal weathering that causes rocks to break down into soil particles.
What are three agents or causes of mechanical weathering?
