Detailed explanation-1: -This type of weathering occurs when rocks weaken then break down due to chemical changes in the composition of the rock. Q. How might a weathered mountain appear different than an unweathered mountain? Weathered mountain would be taller.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion and weathering are the processes in which the rocks are broken down into fine particles. Erosion is the process in which rock particles are carried away by wind and water. Weathering, on the other hand, degrades the rocks without displacing them.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -How is mechanical weathering different from chemical weathering? Chemical weathering happens over much shorter time frame than mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering changes the chemical composition of rocks; mechanical weathering does not.
