Question

Describe three processes that are involved in mechanical weathering of the Earth

Answer 1

Mechanical weathering is the breaking of rocks on Earth's surface. These are somethings that contribute to it:

- Temperature shocks: when rocks are cold and are exposed to hot temperatures or vice versa, these can cause them to fracture.

- Earthquakes: the movements of the Earth's surface will most likely generate big cracks on superficial rocks.

- Humans: human activity can also fracture the rocks on our surface.
