Rain, streams, sunshine, frosts are all features that weather away rocks. Wind has a minor part.

How does sand cause weathering?
Sand causes weathering when it blows against a rocky surface...Have no idea why..My teacher told me.. :)
Is weathering an explosive force that blows rocks apart?
Uh, no. Weathering is natural, like water or wind hitting against a rock.
How does weathering affect erosion?
Weathering can effect erosion in that the absence of support from wind and brine pounding against the rock (weathering) just simply lets the dirt, gravel, etc. to just slide down (erosion).
What kind of weathering of rock has rough edges smoothed by waves crashing against it?
physical
What type of weathering do you see in florida?
I looking at this for hw right now and I'm currently on physical weathering. I have found things such as weathering of sand and rocks along the coast lines due to salt crystallization. Rocks in the ocean are smoothed out and crushed by the constant motion of the ocean. And cliff sides are deteriorated and smoothed out in pieces by waves slamming against them.
What is weathering wind?
Wind weathering is the process were small sediments and/or sand is brushed against rocks due to abrasion.

What are the three weathering?
the 3 types of weathering are: Chemical Weathering Biological Weathering Physical Weathering
What does not cause mechanical weathering?
A mechanical action would not cause chemical weathering of rock and soil. For example, using a handheld hammer or jackhammer against a stone or rock.
How does the wind change the rock?
Wind is an agent of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller particles. Wind moves small rock particles against other rock surfaces, weathering them. Wind will also drive water deeper into fissures, which could then freeze, causing further weathering. Wind can also cause greater wave action on shorelines, increasing weathering.
Are the three types of weathering?
biological weathering , physical weathering & chemical weathering.
