Is physical weathering fast or slow?

Physical weathering can occur at varying speeds depending on factors such as the type of rock, climate, and environmental conditions. In general, physical weathering tends to be a slow process compared to chemical weathering, as it involves physical forces like wind, water, and temperature changes breaking down rocks over time.

Does physical weathering inhibit chemical weathering?

Physical weathering can enhance chemical weathering by increasing the surface area available for chemical reactions to occur. This is because physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area to chemical processes like oxidation and hydrolysis. So, physical weathering does not inhibit chemical weathering; instead, it can actually facilitate it.
