Mechanical Weathering. What is Mechanical Weathering? Weathering where the chemical make up of the rock is not changed, but the rock is broken into smaller.

Weathering:  The natural process by which atmosphere and environmental forces, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose.

Mechanical Weathering: Crushing of Rocks. Chemical Weathering: Dissolving of Rocks.

6 Types of Weathering 1. Water 2. Plants 3. Wind 4. Temperature Change 5. Gravity 6. Glaciers

1. Weathering by Water: - Water pounds on rock, or grinds rock with sediment causing it to break. - Water freezes in the cracks of rocks. Expands and cracks the rock. - Water dissolves the minerals out of rocks causing them to weaken and break.

2. Weathering by Plants: Plant roots grow in rocks causing the rocks to crack.

3. Wind Weathering: Carries sediments that get blown into other rocks causing them to chip & break.

4. Temperature Change causes Weathering : Expansion and contraction from temperature change weakens and cracks rocks.

5. Weathering by Gravity: The pull of gravity can weaken and crack the rocks.

6. Glaciers Cause Weathering: Weight of glaciers scratch and crack rocks.
