Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
things expand when heated and contract when cooled. This seasaw action creates cracks and weakness in structures/landforms and causes weathering.
Uplift caused by tectonic movement
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
Physical weathering is a type of weathering in which minerals react with dissolved oxygen in water. This causes chemical changes to take place in the minerals.
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.
It is called Oxydation
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
It is a form of weathering known as frost wedging.
Water causes the greatest amount of weathering, especially flowing water. Water is scarce in deserts.
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
Frost action is a type of mechanical weathering. It occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart.
Sunlight and wind can cause weathering.
Frost wedging is the most common type of mechanical weathering in mountainous regions, where repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks and crevices causes rocks to split and break apart.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
A cold and freeze-thaw climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate. The expansion of water as it freezes and thaws can break apart rock and mineral structures, leading to increased rates of mechanical weathering in these conditions.
