✳️Physical Weathering✳️
⏭️Physical weathering is a naturally or artificially occurring geological phenomenon in which rocks change their physical properties without affecting their chemical composition. Basically, the rocks are still made up of the same types of rocks and contain the same minerals they once did, they are just no longer in the same size or shape as before.
Natural physical weathering can result from either a sudden geological incident like a landslide, earthquake, avalanche, or volcanic eruption. It can also be a slow process like erosion or soil breakdown.
✨Examples of Physical Weathering:✨
1. Ice
Water can also affect the physical weathering of rocks through much faster means, such as when water gets into the cracks and crevices of rock and freezes, causing the rock to break and occasionally even shatter in something much like an explosion. This phenomenon also happens in streets and roads, causing much the same result as ice wedges form and break up the road's rock composite. Glaciers are also responsible for a good deal of physical weathering as the move along the rocky surface, and as they freeze and melt and refreeze on top of rocky soil.

Snippet content
Rapidly moving water can lift, for short periods of time, rocks from the stream bottom. When these rocks drop, they collide with other rocks, breaking tiny pieces off. Ice wedging causes many rocks to break. This refers to the repeated freezing and melting of water within small crevices in the rock surface.
