A natural process that causes rocks to change, breaks them
down, and causes them to crumble. Freezing and thawing,
oxygen in the air, and even plants and animals can affect the
stability of rock.

A freezing and thawing cycle that breaks up rocks. When it rains or snow melts, water seeps
into cracks in rocks. If the temperature drops below freezing, ice crystals form. As the crystals grow, they take up more space than the water did because ice is less dense than water. This expansion exerts pressure on the rocks. With enough force, the rocks will crack further and
eventually break apart

It is rapid in tropical regions where it's moist and warm most
of the time. Because desert areas have little rainfall and
polar regions have low temperatures, chemical
weathering occurs slowly in these areas

Weathering breaks rock into smaller and smaller pieces, such as sand, silt, and clay. These smaller, loose pieces are called sediment. The terms sand,
silt, and clay are used to describe specific sizes of sediment. Sediment then changes gradually into soil. The formation of soil depends upon the
amount of weathering that occurs in a specific place.

Mechanical weathering occurs when rocks are broken apart by physical processes.
This means that the overall chemical makeup of the rock stays the same. Each fragment has characteristics similar to the original rock. Growing plants, burrowing
animals, and expanding ice are some of the things that can mechanically weather rock. These physical processes produce enough
force to break rocks into smaller pieces.

Chemical weathering occurs when chemical reactions dissolve the
minerals in rocks or change them into different minerals. This type of weathering changes the chemical composition of the rock, which can
weaken the rock.
