What type of weathering is water?
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
What kind of weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind water and temperature?
Its physical weathering
Is a crack that expands because of water physical weathering?
If water freezes in the crack and expands, that would be physical weathering.
What are two causes of physical weathering?
Gravity and water are two causes of physical weathering.
Is water chemical weathering physical weathering or both?
Both
What type of weathering is water?

Its physical weathering
The type of weathering caused by physical means is what type of weathering?
Mechanical (physical) weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller particles due to such factors as freezing and thawing, release of pressure, water absorption, salt crystal formation, landmass uplift, expansion and contraction from the sun or fire, plant root growth, actions of animals, abrasion, or other means that do not directly affect the rock's chemistry.
Is a type of weathering caused by chemical reaction with water?
yes, liquid water is a unit of chemical weathering. ice is a unit of physical weathering.
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.
What are some differences of physical weathering and 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
Is water freezing in cracks in a rock a physical weathering?
it is a physical weathering.
Does chemical weathering involve water?
Chemical weathering does not involve water, that is physical weathering
What substance causes weathering?
"Weathering" is primarily caused by water.
Is a crack that expands because of water physical weathering?
If water freezes in the crack and expands, that would be physical weathering.
What are two causes of physical weathering?
Gravity and water are two causes of physical weathering.
