Freezing and thawing
The most active agent of physical weathering is water. Water can seep into cracks in rocks, freeze, expand, and cause the rock to break apart. This process is known as frost wedging and is a common form of physical weathering.
False. The most important agent of chemical weathering is water, through processes such as hydration, dissolution, and oxidation. Abrasion is a physical weathering process caused by friction and impacts between rock surfaces.
Some synonyms for physical weathering are mechanical weathering and disintegration.
An example of a non-physical weathering process is chemical weathering, where rocks are broken down by chemical reactions rather than physical forces like temperature changes or abrasion.

acid precipitation is an agent of -------weathering
It can be if it crystallises inside a porous rock the salt crystals can crack the rock.

it is physical weathering
No weathering is not the same as physical weathering.Kayla
how are physical weathering and chenical weathering alike and different
No, the most important agent of chemical weathering is typically water. Water helps break down rocks through processes like hydration, hydrolysis, and oxidation. Abrasion, which is the physical wearing down of rocks by friction and impact, is an example of mechanical weathering rather than chemical weathering.
physical weathering is weathering that you can reverse and chemical weathering is where you can' reverse it.
