Mechanical Weathering—when rocks break apart into smaller pieces

Causes of Mechanical Weathering

  • Abrasion – rock scratching other rock
  • Freezing and thawing
  • Actions of animals eg. digging, burrowing
  • Plant growth (roots, ivy)
  • Lightning


Chemical Weathering—when rocks are slowly dissolved or changed into other substances

Causes of Chemical Weathering
Water Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Acid rain, Plants and Lichens
