Rain, streams, sunshine, frosts are all features that weather away rocks. Wind has a minor part.
Sand can cause weathering through a process called abrasion, where wind or water transports sand particles that then physically wear down rocks through friction. As sand particles rub against rock surfaces, they can slowly break down the rock into smaller pieces, gradually leading to weathering and erosion.
The type of weathering is called abrasion. Abrasion occurs when waves carry sediment and debris that rub against the rock surface, gradually wearing it down and smoothing its edges.
The mechanical weathering caused by rock fragments tumbling against each other is called abrasion. This process can lead to the wearing down and smoothing of the rock surfaces involved.

Granite is one of the most resistant rocks to weathering due to its composition of hard minerals like quartz and feldspar. Its interlocking crystal structure makes it more durable against physical and chemical weathering processes compared to other rocks.

Abrasion is a Physical /Mechanical weathering .Abrasion is the process of wearing down or rubbing away.
Wind is an agent of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller particles. Wind moves small rock particles against other rock surfaces, weathering them. Wind will also drive water deeper into fissures, which could then freeze, causing further weathering. Wind can also cause greater wave action on shorelines, increasing weathering.
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
As an iceberg - or glacier - moves across land, it will scrape against it, causing it to weather/erode the land.
