Weathering occurs because of contraction and expansion of rocks due to change in weather. Contraction occurs because of cooling of rocks at night and expansion occurs due heating of rocks in the morning.
Weathering can be mechanical or chemical.
Mechanical weathering. It refers to the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition. This can occur through processes such as frost wedging, abrasion, and root wedging.
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
Mechanical weathering.
One kind of Mechanical Weathering is called ice wedging.
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
yes
Weathering can be mechanical or chemical.
because the rat ate the rat and ate itself
Mechanical weathering can occur in any type of climate, but it is more prominent in cold and dry climates where freeze-thaw cycles and temperature changes can break down rocks.
A cold and freeze-thaw climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate. The expansion of water as it freezes and thaws can break apart rock and mineral structures, leading to increased rates of mechanical weathering in these conditions.

Weathering may occur through the actions of water, air, plants, animals and various chemicals. Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the composition of the minerals in the rock
Chemical weathering is more common in deserts, as the dry conditions limit the amount of mechanical weathering that can occur. Chemical weathering processes such as oxidation, hydration, and dissolution are more prevalent in desert environments where water is scarce.
The 2 kinds of weathering are the Mechanical or Physical Weathering and the Mechanical Weathering.
No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials. In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement. the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand
