the types of weathering are physical and chemical.
physical: like rain and ice breaking a rock.
chemical: like acid rain breaking down a rock.
Physical weathering
The 2 kinds of weathering are the Mechanical or Physical Weathering and the 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.
Chemical weathering
it kinds of destroyes it
The six forces that bring about the weathering of rock are mechanical weathering (e.g. frost action, root wedging), chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, dissolution), biological weathering (e.g. plant roots, burrowing animals), temperature changes, pressure changes, and erosion by wind, water, or ice.
Weathering of any kind can sometimes cause problems, like erosion of topsoil. Biological weathering, where the weathering is caused by living things (plants and animals), can cause the same kinds of problems.
Frost action, alternating wetting and dryness, and temperature changes.
Tree roots can grow in cracks of rocks and break the rocks. The rocks of mountains change due to many kinds of weathering.
Both mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are processes that break down rocks, but they work differently. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing that break rocks into smaller pieces, whereas chemical weathering involves reactions that chemically alter the composition of rocks. Both types of weathering can occur simultaneously and work together to transform rocks over time.
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
Weathering can be all kinds of things, for example, the wind blowing hard on a building above the sea and making holes in it is weathering. Also the sea hitting the cliffs and making bits fall off it is weathering.
