An example of chemical weathering  in the real world is when a person burns something per say.  When the substance burns, the substance is not the exact same thing as it was before as it now has less or more of it's chemical bonds. Because of this (as I said before), this weathering is a chemical weathering

Examples of physical weathering
An example of physical weathering in the real world might be like freezing something. When you freeze something, the substances that makes up the material, does NOT change.

Weathering effects our monuments a lot. Rain can keep of on beating the rocks on monuments, slowly weathering writing. Frost wedging could effect monuments too. An example of a monument going through weathering is the Statue of Liberty! Also, Monuments could rust. Depends on what they are made of!

# data[].attributes.body
Weathering can effect monuments and historical buildings by both chemical and physical weathering. Depending on the material the building/monuments, specific weathering can and can't work. If the material is weak (because it is old) chemical weathering such as acid rain could make details less defined and harder to see so the substance would be smoother and more dull. While things like frost wedging or things hitting the substance (which is classified as physical/mechanical weathering) can also do the same thing but this time the substance is still itself, rather than being changed from the chemical weathering.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain is a type of chemical weathering, as it wears away buildings and statues. it is formed by polluted water that evaporates and rains down from a cloud. it creates a new substance, and wears away the old one.

# data[].attributes.body
Our countries buldings and historical buildings are effected by chemical and physical weathering. Sometimes, a building can be burned down. This is a type of chemical weathering, as it creates another substance, smoke and ash. Often times, buildings that are burtn down are rebuilt. Acid rain chemically weathers down buildings and historic sites. It burn through them, often timescreating new chemicals in the process. Acid rain is created by polluted water that gets evaportated and is rained down, or pollution enters the cloud that has water droplets in it. These buldings can also be physically weathered. If rocks are thrown at it, the building chips a little, but this does not change the substance that  the beuilding is composed of. Frost wedging can physically damage buildings, as it splits the differences between 2 areas. When rainm enters the cracks between a building, and overnight it freezes, it expands, creating a wedge. This keeps happening, while the water keeps melting and freezing. This can casue buldings to break off of other parts of the building.

Both physical and chemical weathering is ruining our monuments. One of the examples of monuments was Mt. Rushmore, which is made of rock. Wind and rain are eventually wearing down the rock, which is an example of physical weathering. Since cracks are starting to form in the famous landmark, workers have to annually go there to fix it.

Because of weathering, buildings and places are slowly changing whether we like it or not. One example are the mountains. They will slowly go away after a long time. Another example is a statue made out of rock. Because of weathering it is slowly being ruined having to have pieces falling off due to rain and wind. An effect it has on us is that we have to keep on fixing things that get broken because of weathering and cracks in the ground which is important so we have a safe and good driving road

Because of weathering right now, historical buildings and monuments are being ruined.  When monuments and historical buildings are around for awhile they are affected by weathering (Chemical&Physical). When weathering occurs around a historical building/monument pieces start falling off which leaves cracks and holes in some areas. When this occurs it ruins how the building/monument looks like, thats been around for a long time.

An  example of weathering is when water is repeatedly freezing and melting in a crack of a rock. This is called Frost Wedging. Frost Wedging occurs in the winter time, creating potholes.
This is an example of Physical Weathering.

An example of chemical weathering would be rust, that is caused when oxygen combines with free metals (usually iron) this is called oxidation.
An example of physical weathering would be frost wedging which is when water gets into the cracks of boulders of rocks and at night when it freezes water expands making the crater bigger which eventually causes the bits of rock to break away. This is a physical change.

# data[].attributes.body
An example of physical weathering is when there is a landslide of rocks, the size and placement of rock may be different, but its chemical side is not touched. Chemical weathering is when there is something changed inside of it, like the chemical features. An example of this is when a lot of pressure is added to a Igneous rock swishing all the air pockets out and turn it into metamorphic.

# data[].attributes.body
An example of chemical weathering is when a sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock, the chemical substance changes and the appearance changes as well. Although the appearance changes, it is not a physical change because the chemical substance changes and a physical change is when the appearance changes, but the chemical substance stays the same

Weathering can effect buildings sometimes, but other times, it might not. It depends on the type of material that makes up the buildings. If the building is old, then it might break down a little bit by acid rain or something. If the building is new and strong, then it won't break down that much, and possibly not at all.

# data[].attributes.body
Weathering makes our country's monuments look undefined, most buildings are weathered down, but some sedimentary rocks are resistant to weathering. That is why a lot of monuments that people want to have for a long time are made from some sedimentary rock like marble.

Weathering effects our country in a big way. First from small things like potholes to the Washington Monument that costs us millions of dollars in repair. Acid rain slowly eats up our monuments and historical buildings, again slowly but so much that we have to repair our buildings once in a few years. This is because marble is a sedimentary rock. If you look carefully in D.C you will see some chipped bits

Physical weathering - Physical weathering is a term used in science that refers to the process of rocks breaking down without their composition being changed.
Ex. of physical weathering: Waves crashing against a rocky shoreline, therefore slowly breaking away the rocks into smaller pieces, or sediments, of rock.

Ex. of physical weathering: Plants growing through cracks. Sometimes, plants, or vines, can grow through cracks in almost anything; sidewalks, streets, roads, etc..
Chemical weathering - Chemical weathering is a term used in science that refers to the erosion, or disintegration, of rocks or any kind of mineral.
Example:  Pollutants from factories and vehicles in the air dissolving into the rainwater forming acid rain.

When water seeps down into the ground and comes in contact with feldspar, which can be found in granite, it can change into clay, therefore changing the whole substance, or composition, into a new one.

Physical Weathering: Frost wedging is when water seeps into cracks in rocks and buildings then freezes in the crack. When the water freezes, the crack expands and leaves a much wider , or maybe even split in two, crack in the rock.

Chemical Weathering: Acid rain is a very common chemical weathering that breaks down our monuments and other rocks little by little. Acid rain is just made by the acidic gases from fossil fuels and mix in with the rain.
