An example of physical weathering would be sand wearing down a rock or ice wedging where water seeps into a crack, freezes in the winter, then expands it over and over.
An example of a non-physical weathering process is chemical weathering, where rocks are broken down by chemical reactions rather than physical forces like temperature changes or abrasion.
No, splits in a rock due to tree roots is an example of physical weathering or biological weathering, not chemical weathering. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical processes like dissolution, oxidation, or hydrolysis.
Some synonyms for physical weathering are mechanical weathering and disintegration.
It is an example of mechanical or more specifically biomechanical weathering.
Actually, living organisms can play a significant role in both physical and chemical weathering processes. For example, tree roots can break apart rocks through physical weathering, while certain microorganisms can produce acids that contribute to chemical weathering. In general, the presence of living organisms can speed up the weathering of rocks and minerals.

soil erosion.
An example of physical weathering is freeze-thaw weathering, where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart. The rock is weathered in this process, as the repeated freezing and thawing weakens and eventually breaks it apart.
Like plant-roots,wind,and temperature.
it is physical weathering
No weathering is not the same as physical weathering.Kayla
because its an chemical weather
They move the rocks and then they drop them and they break. :)
