What is weathering?

What is mechanical weathering?

• Process through which rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces.
• Rocks are broken down through chemical changes.
• Rocks are worn away from acid in plant roots.
• Rocks broken down by machinery.

These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freeze/thaw of water in the cracks of the rocks. This is an example of:

• cryofracturing

• acid rain

• permeability

• abrasion
