The water get to cold and freezes the rock fomring them to not move at all.
No it doesn't because weathering causes rocks to break down not build up.
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.
Yes
Both types of weathering cause rocks and other solid materials to break apart/break down. Both types of weathering are the start of erosion processes.
Well, it's pretty simple. Mechanical weathering is the type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces, so a lot of things we do cause weathering. For example: mining and construction. When we mine, we slowly break down the earth's crust. Same goes for construction. Even walking across a road of gravel causes mechanical weathering! Hope I answered yourquestion! :)
Mechanical weathering occurs when an applied force causes rock to break.

Weathering can break away less resistant parts of the rock and leave behind the more resistant parts.
The change undergone is physical only. The definition of weathering is the wearing away of rocks in situ. Weathering causes the rocks to "break down", but mostly not to chemically change (the exception being limestone in acid rain).
The trees' roots break through rock as they move through the soil.
Some of the physical processes that can produce fertile soil are the various types of rock weathering. There is mechanical weathering and thermal weathering that causes rocks to break down into soil particles.
Old age Frozen or misaligned pulley
because freezing causes brittleness, it would break.
Any form of mechanical weathering causes rock to break into smaller pieces. A landslide will definitely cause rock to break. Meteor impact, plant root growth, ice wedging, and the movement of animals will also cause weathering.
Weathering breaks up the rock by rubbing parts of old rocks against it, this causes the rock to break up into tiny pieces and it rubs agaist other rocks. it continues on for a looong time... however it take a long time for it to break up the rock. hope it helps!!
Weathering is a change that causes something to break down or worn away due to exposure to one or more weather elements (wind, rain, heat, etc.) over a period of time. Erosion is a change that causes something to break down or worn away due to natural processes over a period of time. Weathering is considered to be one of these natural processes that fit the definition of erosion.
