What is the most common form of physical weathering at high elevations?
Abrasion of rocks by wind
Which climates is most suited for physical weathering?
Which of the following climates is most suited for physical weathering
What are the most important factors that determine the rate of weathering rock?
The most important factors that determine the rate of weathering rock are the composition and fabric of the rocks and the physical and chemical environment to which the surface of the rock is exposed.
What best describes erosion?
A weathering action changes a solid or semi-solid natural material. Most weathering actions are physical, such as wind and friction. Some is a physical force, such as earthquake and landslides that expose rock to weathering processes. Some is chemical, such as the deterioration caused by acid rains.

When does physical weathering occur?
Physical (mechanical) weathering occurs when a rock is broken into smaller pieces without a change in chemical structure. Abrasion, fracture by freezing, plant root growth expansion of fractures, rock falls; these are forms of physical weathering.
Where on earth would physical weathering from temperature chang be most common?
Physical weathering from temperature changes is most common on the shorelines, because waves are able to take down rocks that have been weathers. They would be least noticeable inland, in desert areas with little forestation.
