How is mechanical weathering different from chemical weathering?

• Chemical weathering happens over a much shorter time frame than mechanical weathering.

• Chemical weathering occurs only in tropical climates; mechanical weathering occurs only in cool climates.

• Chemical weathering occurs only in the mountains; mechanical weathering occurs only on flat land.
