One is the elephant rocks that you see in the American southwest. These interesting formations are a result of weathering by wind that picks up very small clasts from sand dunes

List two possible examples of physical weathering?

wind and water


What are two examples of the mechanical weathering?

Two examples of mechanical weathering are frost wedging, where water freezes in cracks in rocks and expands, causing them to break apart, and root wedging, where plant roots grow into cracks and exert pressure, leading to rock fragmentation.


What is examples of physical weathering?

Soil particles carried by the wind.


What are 2 examples of weathering?

Two examples of weathering are mechanical weathering, such as when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by physical forces like wind or water, and chemical weathering, which occurs when rocks are broken down by chemical reactions like oxidation or dissolving.


What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?

well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)


What kind of weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind water and temperature?

Mechanical weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind, water, and temperature. These forces physically break down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. Examples include freeze-thaw weathering, abrasion, and exfoliation.


What are two examples on how moving water shapes land?

Erosion and weathering


How does elevation change weathering?

The higher in elevation the more wind and rain there is. weathering happens by wind and water.


What are the two wind instrument?

Two examples of wind instruments are the flute and the clarinet.


Is wind chemical weathering?

no it is not


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.
