Detailed explanation-1: -Physical weathering, also called mechanical weathering, is a process that causes the disintegration of rocks, mineral, and soils without chemical change. The primary process in physical weathering is abrasion (the process by which clasts and other particles are reduced in size).
Detailed explanation-2: -Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through the mechanical effects of heat, water, ice, or other agents. Chemical weathering involves the chemical reaction of water, atmospheric gases, and biologically produced chemicals with rocks and soils.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abrasion weathering. Exfoliation weathering. Frost wedging. Salt crystallization. Thermal expansion. Biological activity/root wedging. 12-Oct-2021
Detailed explanation-4: -Abrasion weathering-forces such as wind and water cause rocks to breakdown into smaller pieces. Exfoliation weathering-rocks expand and break as pressure is released from unloading. Frost wedging-rocks break as water freezes and expands. More items •12-Oct-2021
