No. Weathering is the action of sun, rain, wind altering the color, texture, composition, or form of exposed objects.
if its near a tree then the roots of the tree make the sidewalk crack. i am in sixth grade and i know this! You are dumb, it would be mechanical weathering.
Tree roots can cause mechanical weathering. Roots will start to grow into cracks in rocks and eventually this will cause the rock to break apart. This is known as mechanical weathering.
When ice forms in cracks in rocks, the kind of weathering is known as mechanical weathering. The type of mechanical weathering that freezes and thaws is frost wedging.
Frost Weathering!
Ice wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.

tree is grown by the person who is planting it therfore its made by human therefor its mechanical energy tree is grown by the person who is planting it therfore its made by human therefor its mechanical energy
Mechanicle
Okay, so think about it. If a sidewalk was not built with cracks in it, then eventually weathering and erosion would cause cracks anyway. Then, whenever it rained, rainwater would get in the cracks. Stay with me now! If the temperature then dropped below the freezing point (32 degrees F, 0 degrees C), then the water in the cracks will freeze. When water freezes, it expands, which would exert pressure on the sidewalk, eventually causing the sidewalk to further crack or even split in two! If a sidewalk already has minimal, purposefully placed cracks in it, then the damage can be minimized.

Sidewalk Cracks
How do cracks affect the rate of weathering
Big cracks in the sidewalk can be caused by a variety of factors, such as tree roots pushing up underneath the concrete, soil erosion beneath the sidewalk, or the natural settling of the ground over time. Changes in temperature, especially freeze-thaw cycles, can also contribute to cracking by expanding and contracting the concrete.
Biological weathering; Its a type of weathering which involves the breaking apart and disintegration of rocks throught the process of tree roots out growth or development by opening of cracks, joints and faults in rocks.
Tree grow in the cracks of rocks. As the tree grows the roots largen and put a pressured force on the rock cracks causing the cracks to lengthen in size. The rocks start to weather away because of the force of the roots.
Tree roots can grow in cracks of rocks and break the rocks. The rocks of mountains change due to many kinds of weathering.
it is a physical weathering.
