hi.so i am doing “geog”again and this time i am talking about wheathering.let’s go people

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s surface, by the action of rainwater, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material

Types of weathering

There are two main types of physical weathering:

• Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart.
• Exfoliation occurs as cracks develop parallel to the land surface a consequence of the reduction in pressure during uplift and erosion.

Learn about the different types of chemical weathering, including hydrolysis, oxidation, carbonation, acid rain and acids produced by lichens.
