    1) Weathering is the breakdown of rocks due to chemical and mechanical processes at their locations. 2) There are three main types of weathering: physical, chemical, and biological. Physical weathering breaks rocks apart through temperature changes. Chemical weathering uses processes like oxidation and hydration to decompose rocks. Biological weathering breaks down rocks through acids and other chemicals released by living organisms. 3) The document provides details on the three types of weathering, describing the specific processes involved in each like exfoliation, carbonation, and the role of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

    WEATHERING
    By- Kartik Singh 9th-D
    What is weathering
    • Weathering is essentially
    the breakdown of rocks due to
    chemical and mechanical
    processes at their places.

    Physical
    weathering
    Physical weathering is caused by
    the effects of changing
    temperature on rocks, causing
    the rock to break apart.

    Chemical
    weathering
    Chemical Weathering. A cluster
    of weathering processes
    namely  solution, carbonation,
    hydration, oxidation. These
    processes act on rocks to
    decompose, dissolve or
    moderate them to a fine clastic
    state through chemical
    reactions by oxygen,
    surface/soil water, and other
    acids.
    Biological
    weathering
    Biological weathering
    is weathering caused by
    plants, animals, and
    microorganisms. Plants,
    animals, and microorganisms
    release acid forming
    chemicals that cause
    weathering and also
    contribute to the breaking
    down of rocks and land
    forms. It is the disintegration
    of rocks as a result of the
    action by living organisms.
