What kind of weathering creates potholes?
Potholes are mechanical weathering
Is formation of potholes in streets during severe winters chemical or weathering?
It is a physical process.
How is it possible for weathering to take place beneath bedrock?
The potholes and caverns formed in limestone by water seeping through limestone bedrock is an example of such weathering.
Freezing and thawing cycle that causes potholes in roads and breaks in rocks?
Freeze/thaw cycle doesn't create potholes. It creates cracks on pavement. Potholes form when water, whether from melting snow, rain or frost thawing gets into the cracks in the pavement and cause the road base to shift and develop voids just under the pavement. When this occurs, the weight of vehicles causes the pavement to crumble causing potholes.
Is root wedging a form of chemical weathering?
No. Root wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.

How do potholes form?
Ice wedging
Why do potholes form at the bottom of a stream?
Potholes form in the stream bottom through erosion caused by water and rocks and wildlife.

Are stalactites a form chemical weathering?
Stalactites are a result of the processes of chemical weathering, not a form of chemical weathering.
Is root wedging a form of chemical weathering?
No. Root wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.
Does chemical weathering form new products?
chemical weathering does not form new products
What are the main form of weathering taking place in the desert?
The main form of weathering in a desert is decomposition.
Does acid rain cause potholes?
YES, acid rain can effect roads, highways and even bridges (if it is made out of calcium carbonate) it is formed by the freeze-thaw weathering. by MK
