The movement of abrasive particles, by either air or in water, would both be agents of mechanical weathering.

Is frost heaving a type of mechanical weathering?
Yes, a second way freezing water causes mechanical weathering is by frost heaving
Which is one way that chemical weathering influences mechanical weathering?
Acids in the rain create holes in the rock, which allows water to get inside for ice wedging.
How does physical and chemical weathering combine to affect rocks?
they both shape the earths surface and so in that way it shapes rocks. Mechanical weathering has release of pressure freezing and thawing and so on and so on
How is mechanical weathering caused by ice and growing roots?
Mechanical weathering is caused by ice by water seeping into a crack in, say, a rock. The water then freezes, pushing the crack a little wider. And next time, even wider. And so on. This process is called ice wedging. Mechanical weathering is caused by growing roots in a similar way. The roots grow bigger and bigger. As they grow larger, they push the soil and anything inside it apart.
How does water work to cause mechanical weathering called frost wedging?
water finds its way into small cracks and when it freezes it expands making the crack bigger
Is frost heaving a type of mechanical weathering?
Yes, a second way freezing water causes mechanical weathering is by frost heaving
How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
What is a way plant growth causes mechanical weathering?
the plant roots move the dirt around revealing new rocks underneath the soil, which then are exposed to erosion.
What is one way that chemical weathering and mechanical weathering can influence each other?
dis web site stinks

In what way can an animal cause mechanical weathering?
Earthworms tunnel through the soil and move soil particles around. The motion breaks some particles into smaller particles. It also exposes fresh surfaces to continued weathering.

What is the way ice causes weathering?
the rain doesnt wanna come out so it freezes or if it does rain the the cold weather will freeze it
