Question

explain process of weathering types also

Answer 1

Weathering is the process where rock is dissolved, worn away or broken down into smaller and smaller pieces. There are mechanical, chemical and organic weathering processes.


Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost shattering. Water gets into cracks and joints in bedrock. When the water freezes it expands and the cracks are opened a little wider. Over time pieces of rock can split off a rock face and big boulders are broken into smaller rocks and gravel. This process can also break up bricks on buildings.


Chemical weathering decomposes or decays rocks and minerals. An example of chemical weathering is water dissolving limestone.


Organic weathering happens when plants break up rocks with their growing roots or plant acids help dissolve rock.

Answer 2

weathering process when rock is dissolved,worn away or broken down into smaller and smaller pieces there are mechanical chemical,and organic weathering process.....errosion happens when rock an sediment are picked up and moved to another places by ice, water, wind or gravity
