Question

meaning of weathering​

Answer 1

Answer:

Weathering is the process of breaking of rocks into soil particles with the help of external and internal forces like wind and water.

There are two types of weathering:

Chemical Weathering - In this the chemical composition of rocks changes due to chemical reaction. Eg, acid rain, the chemicals secreted by plants etc.

Physical Weathering - In this, physical forces act on rocks to break them eg. wind, the roots of plants the grow in rocks also break them etc.
