they both shape the earths surface and so in that way it shapes rocks. Mechanical weathering has release of pressure freezing and thawing and so on and so on
The three factors that affect weathering are mechanical weathering (physical breakdown of rocks), chemical weathering (chemical changes in rocks), and biological weathering (weathering caused by living organisms).
Both physical and chemical weathering break down rocks by weakening their structure. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of the rock's composition through chemical reactions. Over time, these processes can cause rocks to crumble, crack, and eventually disintegrate.
Chemical weathering is primarily caused by the reaction of minerals in rocks with water, oxygen, and acids. While temperature changes can affect the rate of chemical reactions, they are not the primary cause of chemical weathering. Temperature changes can, however, lead to physical weathering by causing rocks to expand and contract, which can contribute to the breakdown of the rock.
Factors such as temperature, precipitation, type of rock, vegetation cover, and human activity can influence both chemical weathering (breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions) and mechanical weathering (physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces). Temperature can affect the rate of chemical reactions, while precipitation can enhance chemical weathering by providing water for reactions and mechanical weathering by contributing to erosion. Vegetation can impact weathering by producing acids that enhance chemical weathering and by roots that can cause mechanical weathering. Human activity like construction and mining can accelerate both chemical and mechanical weathering processes.
Climate can affect rates of mechanical weathering by influencing the frequency of freeze-thaw cycles and differential heating of rocks, leading to physical breakdown. In contrast, climate can influence rates of chemical weathering by determining the availability of water and temperature for chemical reactions which can break down minerals. Both types of weathering are related as they work together to break down rocks - mechanical weathering initiates the process by breaking rocks into smaller pieces which exposes more surface area for chemical weathering to act upon.

Factors that affect rock weathering include temperature fluctuations, precipitation levels, type of rock composition, presence of vegetation, and exposure to chemical agents such as acids or salts. These factors can contribute to physical weathering (e.g. freeze-thaw cycles) and chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation or hydrolysis) of rocks.
Physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through processes like freeze-thaw, abrasion, and root wedging, while chemical weathering alters the rock's composition through reactions with substances like water and acids. Together, these processes can weaken rocks, leading to their eventual breakdown and transformation into soil.
