No, not recently. Not much ice near the equator. Something to do with temperature.

Some ancient rocks may show signs of ice weathering, due to plate tectonics and climate change.

Is root wedging a form of chemical weathering?

Root wedging is a form of mechanical weathering, not chemical weathering. It occurs when tree roots grow into cracks in rocks, applying pressure that causes the rock to break apart over time. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, such as oxidation or dissolving.


Weathering that does not cause chemical changes is called?

Mechanical weathering. It refers to the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition. This can occur through processes such as frost wedging, abrasion, and root wedging.
