Mechanical weathering
-The three causes of mechanical weathering are:
-animals
-plants
-water
-Mechanical weathering happens when rocks are broken down without any change in the chemical nature of the rocks.
-The rocks are torn apart physically not by chemical breakdown.
-There are many different ways rocks can be broken down like the Earth's crust shifting.
-When large amounts of pressure build up the ending mechanical effect can be very big joints or faults
that become created.
