Is a process by which rocks are broken into similar fragments. - Weathering, Happens when a large rock breaks into pieces physically without alterations in its chemical composition - Mechanical Weathering, Requires chemical reaction between rock minerals and other substances in the environment in order to break rocks. - Chemical Weathering, Chemical weathering is more effective and rapid in regions with high temperature and rainfall - Climate, Weathering agents may enter a rock mass though it's joints, faults, folds, and bedding planes. - Rock structure, Weathering is faster in steeper slopes than in less steep slopes - Slope, Rocks that are exposed to weathering agents for a longer period of time more pikely to weather easily. - Duration of exposure , some rocks have different degree of resistance to mechanical and chemical weathering - Rock Type, Rainwater that does not soak or evaporate runs over thr ground, carrying with it rock particles. - Water, Loose rock and soil particles are carried away by the wind,
