chemical. it changes the actual composition of the rock. :)
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.
The moss that grows on rocks is considered a form of mechanical weathering. The roots of the moss penetrate the cracks and crevices in the rock, causing physical breakdown through expansion and contraction as the moss grows and shrinks. This process eventually breaks down the rock into smaller fragments.
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.
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.
Moss is biological weathering, actually, because it involves a plant.
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.
chemical
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.
