Mechanical weathering is physical changes that break down and/or cracks the rock, such as ice wedging, temperature changes, root growth, or animal activity. Chemical weathering is a chemical change that changes the chemicals of the substance to make a new one. Examples of chemical weathering include oxidation, acid rain, hydration, and carbonation.
What else can I help you with?
Ice wedging is an example of which type of weathering?
Mechanical Weathering
Weathering by abrasion is usually caused by?
Wind-blown sand causes Mechanical Weathering of rocks by abrasion
The actions of animals most commonly can cause the type of weathering know as?
Mechanical weathering
Does a cold climate help mechanical weathering?
No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials. In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement. the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand
What involves ways that rocks break down without changes to what?
Weathering involves ways that rocks break down without changes to their chemical state. Weathering involves mechanical forces e.g. wind and rainfall rather than chemical energy in disintegration or rocks.
