Freezing and thawing cycle that caus potholes in roads and breaks in rocks?
Mechanical
Mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
can you tell me about chemical and mechanical weathering
What are the difference between mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
The differences are that mechanical weathering breaks rocks into little pieces.. Chemical weathering not only breaks the rock but dissolves it.
What causes potholes and breaks in rocks from freezing an thawing cycle is what?
ice wedging
What is the process that breaks the rocks into 2 passes?
Thawing and freezing could be the answer a type of erosion
What cause mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces by freezing and thawing,release of pressure, growth of plants, action of animals, and abrasion
Freezing and thawing cycle that caus potholes in roads and breaks in rocks?
Mechanical
What is the cycle called when freezing and thawing breaks rocks apart?
well it's under weathering and soil formation or weathering and erosin

What are the difference between mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
The differences are that mechanical weathering breaks rocks into little pieces.. Chemical weathering not only breaks the rock but dissolves it.
What are the similarities between mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Both mechanical weathering (physically breaking rock into smaller pieces) and chemical weathering (chemically changing and even dissolving rock) result in rock layers being broken down. Water can be involved in both - freezing and then thawing lead to mechanical breaking by cracking rock, dissolving can lead to leaching chemical components of the rock, possibly weakening it and leading to pitting of the surface, for example. Also they both can break down some rocks faster than other rocks.

How did mechanical weathering affect the Colorado plateau?
mechanical weathering breaks it down into gradual sloped hills
