What is Wind and water are agents of?
Wind and water are agents of erosion
What are two examples of the mechanical weathering?
two examples of mechanical weathering are called wind ,and water.
What type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountains areas?
The mechanical weathering involves erosion,wind pressure.
What might cause mechanical?
Mechanical weathering can be caused by wind, precipitation (rain, hail, etc), animals walking over it, basically anything that is a physical abrasion of the rock, not a chemical reaction.
Erosion and weathering are caused mostly by?
wind and water.
What causes the mechanical weathering in the Sahara?
Mechanical weathering in the Sahara is mainly caused by the wind. Other weathering is also caused by freezing temperatures and extreme heat.
The breakdown of rocks due to wind is an example of?
Mechanical weathering
Weathering by abrasion is usually caused by?
Wind-blown sand causes Mechanical Weathering of rocks by abrasion
Is mechanical weathering caused by?
Gravity plays a small part in mechanical weathering but temperature, weather, animals, plants, water and wind play much bigger parts.
What is Wind and water are agents of?
Wind and water are agents of erosion
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a materials size or shape is changed?
Yes. Physical weathering is erosion caused by wind, dust, rain, flowing water, collapses, impacts, freezing/thawing, or glaciers.
Is chemical weathering when rocks break apart by wind frost and roots?
No. That is mechanical weathering. Weathering by sand or other matter carried in the wind is a special kind of mechanical weathering called aolean weathering. Weathering by acid rain is an example of chemial weathering. Limestone is particularly subject to this. Illegibility of tombstones in old garveyards provide a good illustration of this.

What weathering agents caused formations such as the grand canyon?
Weathering is creating more material available for erosion and transportation by the Colorado River.
Erosion and weathering are caused mostly by?
wind and water.
