What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
Why is physical weathering also known as mechanical weathering?
Physical weathering is caused by elements of nature. It is known as mechanical weathering to distinguish it from the other types of weathering namely chemical and biological. It occurs mechanically, by the breakdown due to natural components.
Is moss chemical or mechanical weathering?
Moss is biological weathering, actually, because it involves a plant.
Why people want to stop or control weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion cause both physical and monetary damage to property and environmental areas such as buildings and topsoil.
What causes all types of rocks to be exposed to weathering and erosion?
Uplift caused by tectonic movement
Type of physical weathering?
Therew is only to types of weathering in my knowledge and they are Mechanical and Chemical (in scientific term). Mechanical is also know as physical.
What are the 2 main types of weathering?
The two main types of weathering are mechanical (physical) weathering and chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rock materials through chemical reactions.
What are two general types of weathering?

Can you give me some notes about weathering?
There are two types of weathering: chemical and physical. Chemical weathering is said to occur when the chemical compounds of rocks are changed. Physical weathering happens due to wind, rain, or other natural occurrences.
What are the two types of weathering and erosion?
As a SIIT college student, based on what Mrs. Forcadilla taught us, the Two kinds of Weathering are Mechanical- physical forces that broken down rocks into smaller pieces. and Chemical- informed transformation of rock into non-chemical composition.
What types of erosions can water do?
physical weathering
What are the two types of weathering and how are they different?
The two types of weathering are mechanical weathering, which breaks rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes like freezing and thawing, and chemical weathering, which alters the composition of rocks through chemical reactions such as oxidation or dissolution. Mechanical weathering physically breaks down rocks, while chemical weathering changes their chemical composition.
What are the three weathering?
The three types of weathering are physical, chemical, and biological. Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition. Chemical weathering occurs when minerals in rocks are dissolved or altered by chemical reactions. Biological weathering is the breakdown of rocks by living organisms like plants or animals.
What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?

What Are two kind of weathering?
The 2 kinds of weathering are the Mechanical or Physical Weathering and the Mechanical Weathering.
What Weathering processes are there?
There are two main types of weathering processes: physical weathering and chemical weathering. Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, usually through processes like freezing and thawing or abrasion. Chemical weathering involves the alteration of rocks through chemical reactions, such as the dissolution of minerals or oxidation.
