What Is the chemical and mechanical breakdown of Rock?
The breakdown of rock occurs through chemical and mechanical weathering processes. Mechanical weathering involves physical forces, such as freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion, and pressure release, which fragment rocks without altering their chemical composition. In contrast, chemical weathering involves chemical reactions that change the minerals within the rock, such as oxidation, hydrolysis, and carbonation, leading to the dissolution of certain components. Together, these processes contribute to soil formation and landscape evolution.
