Both are mechanical, physical changes, involving the removal of surface material by the action of wind or water. But both can also involve chemical changes which would tend to change the rate of erosion or weathering - for example, acidic rain might cause limestone to weather faster than neutral rain water would.

How can nature change the rock cycle?

By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.


How is weathering different than erosion?

weathering is part of erosion there are two types of erosion mechanical and chemical. chemical refers to elements such as oxygen and Iron which cause a chemical change such as rust and oxidation mechanical weathering is when rocks or materials are separated by water mass movement etc


What is another word for chemical weathering?

Another word for chemical weathering is chemical erosion.


What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?

Is carbonic acid erosion?

it is chemical weathering


Is erosion chemical weathering?

No. Erosion usually involves the transportation of material from one place to another place. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of natural Earth materials with acidic fluids, causing dissolution.


What is different between physical weathering and chemical 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.

Weathering and erosion are two of the what that change rocks?

Weathering can wear down rock over time, smoothing out rough rock formations. Since harder rocks are much more resistant to weathering than softer ones, weathering can change the shape of a rock formation as the soft rock is weathered away, leaving behind the hard rock in a potentially very different shape. Erosion has a very small effect, but could slightly change the shape as dirt and rock particles on the formations are blown or washed away.


Can you say Weathering is the process of erosion or like erosion?

No. They are separate processes. Weathering -chemical and physical breaks down solid rock into smaller particles and prepares it for transportation or erosion.


What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?

Chemical weathering is the process that breaks down rocks by altering their chemical composition through reactions with substances like water, oxygen, and acids. This process can result in the transformation of minerals within the rock, leading to its decomposition and eventual disintegration.
