Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into small pieces and fragments. Chemical weathering changes mineral structures inside of rocks. ... Erosion, which is also called mass wasting, happens when the weathered pieces of rock roll down-slope, along with another agent, such as in the case of a mud slide or moving ice floe.
