Answer:

There are two main types of physical weathering: Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes, and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart. Exfoliation occurs as cracks develop parallel to the land surface a consequence of the reduction in pressure during uplift and erosion.
