Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mechanical Weathering Mechanical weathering, also called physical weathering and disaggregation, causes rocks to crumble. Water, in either liquid or solid form, is often a key agent of mechanical weathering.
Detailed explanation-2: -Physical weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces without altering the chemical composition of the rock. For example, physical weathering can happen as the temperature changes, causing rocks to expand as they warm and contract as they cool, resulting in cracks that lead to the breakdown of the rock.
