What happens to rocks and minerals during physical weathering?
During physical weathering the elements cause changes in rocks. Water freezes and expands to form linear cracks. This is known as frost wedging. Heat from a fire causes rocks to splinter, and ocean waves batter rocks on the shoreline. Wind carries sand and other small particles that etch patterns on soft rocks.
Is formation of potholes in streets during severe winters chemical or weathering?
It is a physical process.
What occurs during weathering?
Erosion happens during weathering

Physical weathering!

The most chemical changes during chemical weathering is caused by oxygen acids and what else?

How can you tell if a physical reaction is occuring?
During a physical change the chemical molecule is not affected; physical changes are changes of phase or form.
During an energy change?
What changes and what remains the same during a physical change
What occurs during weathering?
Erosion happens during weathering
Is ice wedging chemical weathering?
No, it is physical weathering. Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks and freezes. Water expands when it freezes, and when that happens it can crack the rock, causing the rock to break down over time. No chemical changes occur during this process. The water stays water, it just changes state, and the rock stays rock, it just breaks down into smaller pieces.
What are some physical changes during puberty?

Can a substance produced during a physical change easily change back?
Yes. Chemical changes are irreversible, but physical changes can easily be changed back
What physical changes happens during evaporation?
