There is freeze thaw action which mainly occurs in very cold climates(which reach below 0 degrees celsius). What happens is water gets into the cracks in the rocks during the day and feezes at night. Since water expands when it freezes is causes the crack to get bigger and bigger. This goes on and a section of the rock breaks off.
Also there is insulation. this occurs in cliates like a desert where it is hot during the day and cold at night. The surface of the rock heats up and expands slightly during the day but cools down and cotracts slightly at night. This is repeated and layers of the rock begin to peel off like an onion.
There is also another type called salt crystallization. This occurs in dry climates where the temperature averages 26 to 28 degrees. Any salt crystals in the rocks expands to almost 300% their orignal size and will break up the rock.
Finally there is one called pressure release. During erosion rocks may be removed from on top of other rock. The rocks that were removed exerted some pressure on the rocks underneath and when they are removed the rocks expand causing cracks is the rock. These cracks can then be made larger by the other forms of weathering

Weathering I think
There are two types of weathering: chemical and physical. Chemical weathering is said to occur when the chemical compounds of rocks are changed. Physical weathering happens due to wind, rain, or other natural occurrences.
Physical weathering is due to: rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up from the action of frost and ice the action of wind or waves or running water the action of plants. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to: water dissolving minerals in the rock oxidation of metals in the rock
A constant variable is a variable that gets changed by a physical substance
non-examples of erosion would be fire or anything that does not have to do with waterice and Nanon.
Chemical weathering is not a means of water erosion. Water erosion is primarily caused by physical processes such as water flow, abrasion, and transportation of sediment. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, which does not directly contribute to the physical removal of material by water.
Some synonyms for physical weathering are mechanical weathering and disintegration.
frost heaves, frost wedges, plant roots, and friction and repeated impact
Some signs of weathering include cracks and fissures in rocks, rounding of sharp edges and corners of rocks, erosion of soil and rocks, and the formation of patterns on rock surfaces due to chemical or physical processes.
No. Erosion usually involves the transportation of material from one place to another place. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of natural Earth materials with acidic fluids, causing dissolution.
Snow melting, laundry drying, movement of a tree in the wind
Weathering is the breaking down of rock and erosion carries it away. Both of them contribute in some way to the formation of new soil.

Some examples of land formations include mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains, deserts, hills, and canyons. These formations are created by geological processes such as erosion, weathering, volcanic activity, and tectonic plate movement.
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller fragments, while erosion transports these fragments to another location. Weathering is caused by factors like temperature changes and water, while erosion is mainly caused by factors such as wind, water, and glaciers. Together, weathering and erosion shape the Earth's surface over time.
the grand canyon was made by weathering and erosion <3 :D i answered some of yalls questions now answer mine what effected the grand canyon the most weathering or erosion and how did weathering and erosion effect the grand canyon? plzz answer plzzzzzzzzzz thank u <3
I really do not know!
