How Rocks crumble down?

Does oxidation make rocks crumble?
Oxidation can contribute to the weathering and weakening of rocks by breaking down their chemical composition over time. While it is not the sole reason for rocks to crumble, oxidation can interact with other physical and chemical processes, such as hydration and thermal expansion, to contribute to the overall breakdown of rocks into smaller particles.
Why do some rocks crumble and others not?
Rocks may crumble due to weathering processes like freezing and thawing, chemical reactions, or biological activity breaking down their structure. Those that do not crumble typically have a more durable mineral composition or are less susceptible to the environmental conditions that cause breakage. The rock's hardness, porosity, and cementing material can also play a role in determining whether it will crumble or not.
Chemicals in the air mix with rocks and eat away holes in them or make them crumble?
chemical weathering
What type of rock fairly soft rocks that may break and crumble easily is?
The type of rock you are referring to is likely sedimentary rock. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of mineral and organic particles, which often results in a softer texture compared to igneous and metamorphic rocks. Common examples include sandstone and limestone, both of which can break and crumble easily under pressure or weathering.
What rock type is easily weathered and why?
Sedimentary Rocks. They are Porous, and loosely bound together. This means that water can enter the material, freeze/thaw, and crumble the Rocks. Wind and pounding rains can easily wear down these Rocks as well.
Does mechanical weathering strength and rocks?
Yes, mechanical weathering can weaken rocks by breaking them down into smaller pieces through processes such as frost wedging, root wedging, and abrasion. Over time, these processes can cause rocks to crumble and erode.
