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.
mechanical weathering
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
Eroded rock without form could be the sand produced.
probaly sedimentary or igneous rocks
Yes, weathering slowly does break down rocks and makes them pebbles and then soil, but it takes years.
No. Water expands when it freezes, causing the rocks to crack and break.

Break apart
It breaks down the rocks
The process is called weathering because the changes in the weather break the rocks.
In the rock cycle, rocks change into differant types of rocks over time. For example, igneous rocks might break into sediments that form sedimentary rocks.

All of these changes break rocks into smaller pieces called rock particles
Tree roots can grow in cracks of rocks and break the rocks. The rocks of mountains change due to many kinds of weathering.
Physical weathering!
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart
Yes , Rocks Can Break Your Back .
Yes. Temperature changes, water, wind, pressure changes, plant and animal action, and gravity are all agents of physical weathing.
