A physical breakdown refers to the process of breaking down a substance or material into smaller pieces through physical means such as crushing, grinding, or tearing. This can result in a reduction in size or change in physical properties without altering the chemical composition of the material.
Rottening of wood is a chemical (breakdown) reaction
The breakdown of bedrock is primarily caused by physical weathering processes such as frost action, abrasion from wind or water, and root growth. Chemical weathering from acidic water or carbonation can also contribute to the breakdown of bedrock over time.
Fat breakdown is stimulated by a calorie deficit, increased physical activity, and hormones like adrenaline and glucagon. These factors signal the body to release stored fat for energy production.
The physical weathering agents are basically the water and wind. But the rocks decay mostly because of wind. Wind blows continuously for ages and the rocks that stand in the way get decayed in the long run.
Molecular weathering refers to the breakdown of rock and mineral structures at the molecular level due to chemical reactions, such as oxidation or hydration. This process can weaken rocks and minerals, leading to their eventual physical breakdown through mechanical weathering processes.
mechanical breakdown
Weathering is the process that involves the physical or chemical breakdown of Earth materials. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of minerals in rocks through chemical reactions with water, air, or other substances.

No, physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes like temperature changes and abrasion, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions with substances like water and acids.
it means when you start having a random spazz atttack and you go all wierd and you cant control yourself. Or is that nervous breakdown????? :P
The breakdown of sedimentary rocks is primarily caused by weathering processes such as physical (mechanical) weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions. Biological weathering is the breakdown of rocks by living organisms such as plants and burrowing animals.
Put simply, decomposition, the chemical and physical breakdown by way of bacteria.
The chemical breakdown of rocks is called weathering. This process involves the physical and chemical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces due to exposure to elements such as water, wind, and temperature changes.
Chemical reactions do not contribute to physical weathering. Physical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without any change in their chemical composition.
