Physical weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals break down into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. This occurs due to various environmental factors, such as temperature fluctuations, freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from wind or water, and the expansion and contraction of materials. Physical weathering plays a crucial role in soil formation and landscape evolution by fragmenting rock materials, making them more susceptible to other weathering processes.
