Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
What mechanical weathering causes rock to flake off in layers?
Chemical.
Is abrasion chemical or mechanical weathering?
Abrasion is Mechanical Weathering.
Mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
can you tell me about chemical and mechanical weathering
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.
Weathering by abrasion is usually caused by?
Wind-blown sand causes Mechanical Weathering of rocks by abrasion

Is a delta a mechanical or chemical weathering?
It is Phisical (mechanical) Weathering.
Is animal action mechanical or chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering
Is oxidation mechanical or chemical weathering?
