Mechanical weathering

chemical weathering
I would have to say that Plants/Animals are commonly types of weathering found in New Jersey.
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.

Any animal can contribute to rock weathering, simply by stepping on it, brushing up against it, clearing protective plant life away from it, etc. Of course, what type of rock it is would determine how much of an effect animals would have on it.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical 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.

Chemical Weathering .
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
