Both chemical and physical weathering processes break down rocks into smaller pieces. While physical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition, chemical weathering involves the transformation of rocks through chemical reactions with substances like water or acids.
What else can I help you with?
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Both physical and chemical weathering break down rocks by weakening their structure. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of the rock's composition through chemical reactions. Over time, these processes can cause rocks to crumble, crack, and eventually disintegrate.
Are physical and chemical weathering the same?
No, physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes like temperature changes and abrasion, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions with substances like water and acids.
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
What are the agents of biological weathering?
The agents of "weathering" is both the agents of the physical and the chemical weathering combined. Agents of physical weathering can be: wind, water, sun, ice, gravity, rain, etc. Agents of chemical weathering may be: acid from roots, acid rain, oxidation/reduction (rusting), carbon dioxide, etc. They are the same because both physical and chemical weathering lead to erosion of rocks. In other words, both help rocks break down into smaller pieces. They are also the same because both physical and chemical weathering can occur with the same agent. For example, TREES. The roots of trees release acid to break down rocks (chemical weathering) while the roots of trees also grow into the cracks of rocks and help break them apart (physical weathering). Note that weathering is just the beginning process of erosion. Erosion is when stuff actually breaks down into smaller pieces.
Why is chemical weathering a problem?
Chemical weathering can be a problem because it can weaken and break down rocks, leading to landslides, erosion, and other geological hazards. It can also accelerate the degradation of buildings and structures, compromising their structural integrity. Additionally, chemical weathering can release harmful substances into the environment, affecting ecosystems and human health.

Is weathering same as physical weathering?
No weathering is not the same as physical weathering.Kayla

Explain the difference between chemical and physical weathering?
Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, such as oxidation or dissolution. Physical weathering, on the other hand, occurs when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through physical processes like freezing and thawing, or abrasion. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock, while physical weathering only breaks the rock into smaller pieces.
Is chemical weathering and chemical reaction the same?
Yes, chemical weathering involve chemical reactions.

Compare and contrast chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering is taking a big rock and breaking it down to small rocks by releasing pressure, freezing and thawing (water and ice), animal action, plant growth and abrasion. Chemical weathering is when a rock loses it shape but STILL IS MADE OF THE SAME METRICAL. Chemical weathering uses water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organism, and acid rain.
Compare and contrast mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering provides fresh surfaces for attack by chemical processes, and chemical weathering weakens the rock so that it is more susceptible to mechanical weathering.
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.
