Answer 2

Mechanical weathering produces smaller particles. (Option 3)

• The breaking down of massive rocks into smaller pieces is called mechanical weathering.
• This is a process taking place at the earth's surface.
• It is also referred to as physical weathering since it does not bring about any chemical change to the composition of the rocks.
• Ice, water, and wind erosion are some factors responsible for the initiation of mechanical weathering.
• Once cracks appear in these huge rocks, the roots of large trees grow into the cracks and disintegrate them.
