weathering is caused by wind hurricanes or even hand made .
Another term used to describe physical weathering is mechanical weathering. This process involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, usually through physical forces like ice, water, and wind.
The term that best describes the process of weathering and erosion is "denudation." Denudation is the overall process by which weathering and erosion wear down and remove rock material from the Earth's surface, shaping the landscape over time.
Spheroidal weathering is the process that tends to form spherical boulders. This type of weathering occurs on rocks with varying resistance to weathering, resulting in the development of rounded shapes over time due to the uneven weathering of the rock surfaces.
Weathering of rocks is generally a slow process that can take years to centuries. However, the rate of weathering can be influenced by factors such as climate, rock type, and presence of vegetation, which can either accelerate or slow down the process.
Mechanical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, increasing their surface area exposed to chemical weathering agents like water and acids. This increased surface area allows for more efficient chemical reactions to occur, accelerating the chemical weathering process. Additionally, mechanical weathering can create fractures and cracks in the rock, providing pathways for chemical weathering agents to penetrate deeper into the rock, further enhancing the weathering process.

THE WEATHERING PROCESS ......................... WHO KNOWS???
Weathering refers to the breaking down of minerals, rocks, soil and artificial materials
It is the process of weathering.
Probably weathering and/or erosion.
It is the process of weathering.
weathering
It's called "chemical weathering" - there may be qualifiers that describe specific forms within that such as hydrolysis.
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.
No, it is a chemical process.
