What are the different types of weatheing?

Answer 1

There are two different types of weathering regarding rocks. Chemical weathering involves decomposition or dissolution of a rock. Examples of chemical weathering include halite being dissolved to form salt water and calcite decomposing to calcium and bicarbonate ions in aqueous solution. Physical, or mechanical, weathering can be cracking, scratching, crushing, abrasion, or other physical changes to rocks. Big rocks are weathered into broken pieces which can be further broken down into crystals and logs animal shells are reduced to peat and shell gravel.
