Because it helps in disintegration of solid masses, as it weakens their individual molecular force of attraction.
No ice is an agent of physical weathering
acid precipitation is an agent of -------weathering
chemical weathering
Emission of Infra Red, Ultraviolet and Gama radiation from the sun is why it is an agent of weathering.
Chemical weathering.
Chemical weathering.

what are the agents of weathering
the nature of the material weathered (shape, size, composition) the nature of the weathering agent the frequency of the weathering agent the properties of the surrounding environment
wind,water,and heating
Unloading acts as a weathering agent by breaking bedrock into smaller pieces. This increases the surface area along which chemical reactions can occur, which eventually leads to weathering.
