Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon are formed through a combination of physical and chemical weathering processes. Physical weathering, such as frost wedging and abrasion, breaks down the rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering, like hydration and oxidation, alters the composition of the rock. Erosion by wind and water then further shapes the hoodoos, while deposition of sediment can lead to their formation in new areas.
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.
Chemical weathering does not cause physical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while physical weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions. For example, the gradual dissolution of limestone by acidic rainwater is a common form of chemical weathering. Physical weathering, on the other hand, involves the breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition. An example is freeze-thaw weathering, where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rocks to break apart over time.
Physical weathering is caused by mechanical forces such as temperature changes, frost wedging, and abrasion, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rock through chemical reactions like oxidation and hydrolysis. Physical weathering does not change the chemical composition of the rock, whereas chemical weathering alters the mineral structure.
Weathering of rocks can involve both chemical and physical changes. Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of a rock's chemical composition through reactions with water, air, or other substances.

it is physical weathering
Is chemicals from plants chemical weathering or physical weathering
Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
Fog is a chemical weathering.

how are physical weathering and chenical weathering alike and different
Chemical weathering does not cause physical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while physical weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
Weathering can involve both physical and chemical changes. Physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, such as through freezing and thawing. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, alters the chemical makeup of rocks through processes like oxidation or dissolution.
Mechanical weathering is physical changes that break down and/or cracks the rock, such as ice wedging, temperature changes, root growth, or animal activity. Chemical weathering is a chemical change that changes the chemicals of the substance to make a new one. Examples of chemical weathering include oxidation, acid rain, hydration, and carbonation.
