Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a materials size or shape is changed?

Physical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. It is caused by factors such as temperature changes, abrasion from wind or water, and ice formation in cracks.


How can erosion cause weathering?

Erosion can cause weathering by wearing down rocks and transporting particles, exposing them to different environmental conditions. This exposes the rocks to more physical and chemical processes that contribute to their breakdown and eventual disintegration, leading to weathering.
