Biological effects on mechanical weathering. Living organisms may contribute to mechanical weathering, as well as chemical weathering.
Tropical areas experience the highest rate of mechanical and chemical weathering of rock.
Mechanical weathering provides fresh surfaces for attack by chemical processes, and chemical weathering weakens the rock so that it is more susceptible to mechanical weathering.

mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering

Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
It depends on what is meant by 'holes'. Cavities in limestone may be caused by both mechanical and chemical weathering.

The answer depends on what "other forces" you are talking about. If the other forces are chemical, then weathering can be both chemical or mechanical. Generally, both types occur to various extents.
Tropical areas experience the highest rate of mechanical and chemical weathering of rock.
What mechanical and chemical weathering have in common is they both break rocks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the weathered rock will be eroded.
Plant growth is both a chemical and mechanical process. The roots secrete mild acids that dissolve minerals in rocks, and the plant's roots and stems can increase in size and force rocks apart inside cracks and crevices.
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
Mechanical weathering provides fresh surfaces for attack by chemical processes, and chemical weathering weakens the rock so that it is more susceptible to mechanical weathering.
