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.
They contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
Water causes what type of weathering?
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
What do mechanical and chemical weathering have in common?
What mechanical and chemical weathering have in common is they both break rocks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the weathered rock will be eroded.
How does climate affect mechanical and chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in warm, wet climates, and mechanical weathering occurs more in cold climates.
