Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
The three main types of weathering are mechanical weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing, chemical weathering involves chemical reactions that break down rocks, and biological weathering involves living organisms breaking down rocks.
The three factors that affect weathering are mechanical weathering (physical breakdown of rocks), chemical weathering (chemical changes in rocks), and biological weathering (weathering caused by living organisms).
What are three agents or causes of mechanical weathering?
There are 5 ways Mechanical Weathering acts: 1. Freezing and Thawing 2. Release of pressure 3. Plant growth 4. Actions of Animals 5. Abrasion
1. WEATHERING a. physical weathering/mechanical weathering b. chemical weathering 2. EROSION a. erosion by water b. erosion by wind c. erosion by ice/glaciers 3. MASS MOVEMENT a. landslide b. mudslide 4. TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT
One cause of biological weathering is through the organism lichens. Other types are caused by plants, animals, and exposure to acids.
The sources of weathering include physical factors like wind, water, and temperature changes, as well as chemical factors such as acids, oxygen, and organic compounds. Biological factors like plants, animals, and microbes can also contribute to weathering processes.
Mechanical weathering can be caused by wind, precipitation (rain, hail, etc), animals walking over it, basically anything that is a physical abrasion of the rock, not a chemical reaction.
3 examples are- 1.ice wedging - when water gets into cracks, freezes and expands 2.roots-while they grow, they push rocks aside that later break. 3.animals- when they dig underground, they push rocks aside causing them to break
An example of mechanical weathering associated with "ice wedging" is when water seeps into cracks in a rock, freezes, expands, and then causes the rock to break apart. This process is common in regions with cold climates and frequent freeze-thaw cycles.
The processes for mechanical weathering are what change the rock completely. In chemical, it's what changes the rock into something different.For mechanical, there are four types of weathering.1) Abrasion: Sand and rock particles are carried by wind, water or ice and wear away exposed rock surfaces.2) Exfoliation: (heating and cooling of the rock)3) Bioturbation: * roots of trees and other plants enter cracks in rocks and eventually break them. * An animal that burrows in the ground.4) Frost action/ ice wedging: When water enters a rock and freezes which makes the rock expand and therefore, make the crack bigger. (Think of this like snow and ice and the side walks.)
