Question

How will physical and/or chemical weathering contribute to create rounded shapes during spheroidal weathering?

Answer 1

Chemical weathering weakens the outer surfaces of rocks and its primary agent is water. Mechanical weathering is carried out by impact or attrition by water and air.
Both of these forms of weathering combine and cause rocks to obtain a spherical shape.The concentric layers of rock are combined to form structures known as saprolite.
