Physical Weathering: is when a rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical Weathering: is when the rock change due to different chemical reactions.
What type of weathering occurs due to release of pressure?
Chemical Weathering
What is weathering due to repeated freezing and melting of water called?
chemical weathering
How are Mechanical Weathering and Chemical Weathering different?
Mechanical weathering is due to repeated use of the machine due to which the machine parts gets worn out on account of fricion.Where as chemical weathering is similar to rusting in which the metal reacts with oxygen in air to form metallic oxide which is fragile and hence reduces the 2vfidvgpygbIJFOIBJONESHAMQstrength of the metal.
What size rock is more susceptible to weathering?
A small rock will have the most massive effects due to its size...compared to something like a boulder, anyway.

. How is physical weathering different from chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is due to: rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up from the action of frost and ice the action of wind or waves or running water the action of plants. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to: water dissolving minerals in the rock oxidation of metals in the rock

How does weathering differ from erosion?
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.

What is the process of exfoliation?
Exfoliation is a form of rock weathering, also referred to as onion skin weathering. It is characterized by a layer by layer erosion of the outer surface of the rock caused by chemical changes to the composition of the minerals, by differences in temperature between the outer surface and the interior of the rock, or by the expansion and separation of the outer surfaces due to moisture absorption.
