Question

All of the following are agents of mechanical weathering EXCEPT ___________. wind temperature water gravity

Answer 1

Gravity: that's a force.

Answer 2

The correct option here is d

Step-by-step explanation:

Weathering can simply be defined as the breakdown or decomposition of rocks. There are two types of weathering namely

• Mechanical weathering
• Chemical weathering

Mechanical weathering is the gradual breakdown of rocks into simpler pieces by physical agents such as water, wind, temperature and biological activities. Gravity does not affect weathering (both mechanical or chemical) because it is a force (constant) on earth that is not directly involved in any form of wear and tear.
