∙ 6y agoThe two types of rock weathering are physical and chemical. Some physical examples are erosion by wind, dust, or water, by freezing, and by tectonic activity such as earthquakes. Chemical weathering is caused by dissolved acids in rain or groundwater.

Is a type of physical weathering.?
Frost wedging
What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical Weathering .
What type of weathering is water?
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
What type of weathering is in breaking of rocks?
Physical weathering.
What type of weathering is oxidation?
Chemical weathering
What type of weathering causes exfoliation?
Exfoliation is primarily caused by physical weathering processes such as thermal expansion and contraction, where daily and seasonal temperature changes cause rocks to expand and contract, leading to the outer layers of rock peeling off in sheets. This process is especially common in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations like deserts.
Ice wedging is an example of which type of weathering?
Mechanical Weathering
In what type of weathering does salt wedging occur?
mechanical weathering
What is a type of weathering where rocks are dissolved by an acid?
chemical weathering
