Physical (also referred to as mechanical) weathering does not cause a change in the chemistry of a rock, only a diminution of size.

How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
What property of matter that can be observed and measured without changing the composition?
chemical properties.
Can the chemical properties of a substance be observed without changing the substance?
physical properties
Differentiate physical chemical weathering?
mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition while on chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals that are stable at the earth's surfaces.
What is the difference between a chemical and physical property?
physical properties are those that can be seen or measured without changing a material. chemical properties tell how the substance forms new substances when it mixes with something else.
What Properties Can Be Observed Without Changing A Substance's Chemical Compositionion.?
All physical properties.
What is it called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition chemical weathering oxidation leaching or mechanical weathering?
The only one from the list above that does not involve some form of chemical change is mechanical weathering.
Can chemical properties cannot be observed without changing the substance?
yes
How are mechanical and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
What property of matter that can be observed and measured without changing the composition?
chemical properties.
Can the chemical properties of a substance be observed without changing the substance?
physical properties
What is the diffence between physical and chemical properties as well an physical and chemical changes?
Physical properties can be observed without changing the chemical composition of a substance. Chemical properties can only be observed by changing the chemical composition of the substance. In a physical change, the chemical composition of the substance does not change. In a chemical change, the chemical composition of the substance changes.
How do chemical and physical properties differ?
chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance and physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter.
When rocks break down without changing the rock material it is called?
The process of breaking down the rock material without changing its chemical composition is called mechanical weathering.
Differentiate physical chemical weathering?
mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition while on chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals that are stable at the earth's surfaces.
Which type of property cannot be observed without changing the composition of a substance?
Chemical properties cannot be observed without changing its composition. ie: oxidation numbers Physical properties are properties such as melting point and boiling point. All that is needed to observe these are by placing the compound in a melting point apparatus etc.
Is water and salt a physical change?
No, salt will (physically) dissolve in water, without changing chemical properties
