Transporting is a key and at high temp (100-300 deg c) of water changing the rock. water is great at weathing because its has great solution properties.
Is the morphological landscape of dissoloution and percipation of near surface bed rock.
Of many isons dissolve in water Na+,K+, Ca2+ Elements are slowly stripped away.
It is water weathering
Water is the substance that has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock. Water can seep into cracks in rock, freeze and expand, causing the rock to break apart. Water can also chemically react with minerals in the rock, leading to chemical weathering.
Hydration
Water can get into fractures/joints/pores of rock, freeze, and then expand, weathering the rock.
Yes, water freezing in cracks in a rock is a form of physical weathering called frost wedging. As water freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the rock and causing it to break apart over time.
The type of weathering that occurs when rock is broken down as it absorbs water is known as hydration weathering. This process involves the absorption of water into the rock structure, causing it to weaken and break apart over time.
Water causes the greatest amount of weathering, especially flowing water. Water is scarce in deserts.
Weathering.
Probably weathering and/or erosion.
