What is a weathing rocks?

Weathering rocks refer to the process by which rocks are broken down and worn away by natural elements such as water, wind, and temperature changes. This process can involve physical (mechanical) weathering, chemical weathering, or biological weathering, ultimately leading to the disintegration of the rock into smaller particles and minerals.

The type of weathing in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces is called weathering?

The type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces is called mechanical weathering. This process occurs without any change in the rock's chemical composition and can result from factors such as temperature changes, freeze-thaw cycles, or the action of wind and water. As rocks break down into smaller fragments, they become more susceptible to further weathering processes.
