took the quiz on edge and got a 100%

Answer 2

Water is the factor that contributes to both chemical and mechanical weathering.

What are the factors of chemical weathering?

• The oxygen reacts with iron to form rust so it is a factor of chemical weathering
• The carbon dioxide mixed with water to form a carbonic acid so it is the factor of chemical weathering

What are the factors of mechanical weathering?

• The bigger rocks break down to become smaller rocks is the factor of mechanical weathering
• The strong wind causes soil erosion so the wind is the factor of mechanical weathering
