The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock and the climate. Rainfall affects the rate of weathering.

Erosion..... As wind, water, and glaciers move rock debris, they relentlessly disintegrate the rock further.

The mechanical weathering involves erosion,wind pressure.
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Climate: is the single, most important factor that affects the rate of weathering. Chemical reactions occurs faster at higher temperatures, Warm climates favor chemical weathering, cold climates favor mechanical weathering(principally freezing and thawing), more moisture, or precipitation present, the more noticeable weathering.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
