Erosion is a physical change similar to abrasion.

Abrading is caused by two solids moving by one another and wearing each other down.

Erosion occurs when a fluid passes a solid and removes some of the solid.

Is ice melting at 0 degrees Celsius a chemical property?

No, the process of ice melting at 0 degrees Celsius is a physical change, not a chemical property. It involves a phase change from a solid to a liquid state without any change in the chemical composition of the ice.


Is scrubbing the floor a physical or chemical change?

Scrubbing the floor is a physical change because the appearance or state of the floor is altered without changing the chemical composition of the materials involved.


Is color change a physical or chemical change?

It depends. In most cases, it is a chemical change as the different colored species have different chemical structures. However, it is possible to change color by very finely dividing particles of matter and this is a physical change.


Is melting copper an example of chemical change?

It can be. Temperature increases usually induce physical changes in the broad sense. If the change in temperature merely induces a state change (for instance, the copper is melted - becoming a liquid) then it is purely a physical change. Presuming that heating will occur in the presence of air, it will also increase the rate of oxidation and, therefore, be indirectly inducing a chemical change.


What is the differences between chemical and physical change?

A chemical change involves a change in a substance's chemical properties (characteristics that describe how it interacts with other substances).A physical change involves a change in a substance's physical properties(characteristics that describe certain features one can see with their 5 senses).
