Is a erosion caused by wind a chemical change?
It is physical change
Is a metal surface becomes dull because of continued abrasion a chemical or physical change?
Platinum rings acquire a dull satin finish from age and physical wear. Scratches do not actually remove metal from the ring but only displace the metal, so a platinum ring can be polished back to its original appearance without any wear to the ring.
Is a faded picture a chemical or physical change?
Fading paper is a physical, or mechanical, change. It is such because it does not involve any chemical solutions that a chemical change would require. Fading paper represents a physical alteration in the material similar to cracking, scratching, crushing, abrasion, and other means of disintegration.
Is abrasion a chemical or physical change?
In most situations, erosion is a physical process. It occurs when a medium (usually air or water) displaces another substance, changing its physical appearance and/or shape. One example is a steel plate that has a steady stream of water running or dripping on it. Over time, the water will create a depression in the steel, despite the steel being much harder than the water. Another example would be wind or rain washing sand from a hill, changing the shape, and eventually even the size, of the hill. The Silver Lake Sand Dunes on the west side of Michigan have been changed dramatically by the wind over the last 140 years, literally burying whole trees and even buildings. Sometimes the erosion process can contribute to chemical reactions. These reactions are called Erosion Corrosion or Flow Accelerated Corrosion. (Please see the related links below.)

What might cause mechanical?
Mechanical weathering can be caused by wind, precipitation (rain, hail, etc), animals walking over it, basically anything that is a physical abrasion of the rock, not a chemical reaction.

Is abrasion chemical or mechanical?
Abrasion is mechanical. It means rubbing or sanding.
What is wind abrasion?
