Mechanical weathering is the process of weathering that causes disintegration in rocks but does not change the chemical compound of the rocks. Things like frost, rivers, and tree roots cause mechanical weathering. A large example of this would be the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

What are the types of wearthering?

The main types of weathering are physical weathering, which involves the breaking down of rocks without changing their chemical composition, and chemical weathering, which involves the alteration of rocks through chemical reactions. Weathering can also be classified as mechanical or biological weathering based on the processes involved.


What is a fact about weathering?

Weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller particles through exposure to elements such as water, wind, and temperature changes. It plays a key role in shaping the Earth's surface and can occur through physical (mechanical) or chemical processes. Ocean waves breaking against coastal cliffs can lead to physical weathering, while acidic rain dissolving limestone is an example of chemical weathering.
