What are some examples of machanical weathering?

Answer 1

3 examples are-

1.ice wedging - when water gets into cracks, freezes and expands

2.roots-while they grow, they push rocks aside that later break.

3.animals- when they dig underground, they push rocks aside causing them to break

Answer 2

….4 types of mechanical weathering would be ice, moving water, plant root growth, and abrasion

Answer 3

Mechanical weathering is when rocks are worn away by physical action, eg: a river running past. Chemical weathering is when rocks are worn away by chemical action eg: acid rain.

Answer 4

one example if mechanical weathering is the Niagara falls. As the water is coming down it is adding pressure against the rocks.

Answer 5

abrasion and ice wedging.

Answer 6

The dissolving of limestone by acid rain.
