One example of chemical weathering is acid rain another is acid fog. An example of mechanical weathering is water eroding away mountains or water creating a river.

What are the two kinds of weathering?

The two kinds of weathering are mechanical weathering, which breaks down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, and chemical weathering, which alters the chemical composition of rocks through processes like oxidation or dissolution.


What are the 2 main types of weathering?

The two main types of weathering are mechanical (physical) weathering and chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of rock materials through chemical reactions.


What occurs during the weathering process?

There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.


What are 2 of nature's weathering forces?

Two of nature's weathering forces are mechanical weathering, which breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes like freezing and thawing, and chemical weathering, which alters the composition of rocks through reactions with water, oxygen, and other substances.


What 2 processes cause weathering?

Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through physical forces like freezing and thawing, root growth, and abrasion. Chemical weathering alters the composition of rocks through processes like oxidation, hydration, and dissolving by acids.

What it is weathering?

weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smaller particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering


What are some examples of machanical weathering?

3 examples are- 1.ice wedging - when water gets into cracks, freezes and expands 2.roots-while they grow, they push rocks aside that later break. 3.animals- when they dig underground, they push rocks aside causing them to break

2 types of digestion are?

Mechanical Digestion (ex. chewing your food) and Chemical Digestion (ex. your spit breaking down the food). Those examples happen in the mouth, but both types happen elsewhere in the body, too.
