It is where the effects of the weather have an impact of the coast/land. Physical/mechanical processes include: freeze-thaw, thermal expansion, salt crystalisation and wetting and drying. Chemical processes include: hydration, hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. Biological weathering is done by animals, plants, and humic acid.
All these processes need organic material present to occur, whether it is living or dead.

What does 'subaerial' mean when you are talking about volcanoes?
Subaerial refers to volcanic activity that occurs above water, typically on land or on the surface of the ocean. It is the opposite of submarine, which refers to volcanic activity that occurs beneath the ocean's surface.
What is subaerial processes?
Subaerial processes refer to geological and geomorphological changes that occur on land surfaces exposed to the atmosphere, primarily influenced by weathering, erosion, and sedimentation. These processes involve the breakdown of rocks and soils through physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms, often driven by factors such as wind, rain, temperature fluctuations, and human activities. Subaerial processes play a crucial role in shaping landscapes, forming features like valleys, cliffs, and soil profiles. They contrast with subaqueous processes, which occur underwater.
