Answer:

Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by chemical processes. ... Ice can also cause mechanical weathering when water gets in cracks in rocks, and then freezes and expands. This widens the cracks, causing mechanical weathering.
