"Weathering" is primarily caused by water.
Chemical weathering
give example of a real life situation where a substance's resisrance to weathering might make a difference
Weathering from mechanical and chemical means is the process that causes rocks to become smaller and smaller; wind, rain, the sun, the freeze/thaw cycle, moving glaciers, chemical reactions, and gravity are some of the causes of weathering.
true
The causes of chemical weathering include exposure to water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acids. Erosion is a physical weathering process, not a chemical one.
Chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions in the substance, for example, when oxidation causes rusting.
Mechanical weathering - Disintegration - breaks down into smaller pieces, no new substance. Frost Action, Abrasion, Gravity, Organic Activity, Wetting and Drying, and Joint Sheeting are the six major causes of mechanical weathering.
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.

weathering
The three main causes of weathering are physical weathering (e.g. wind, water, and ice), chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation and hydrolysis), and biological weathering (e.g. plant roots and burrowing animals). These processes break down rocks and minerals into smaller particles over time.
