Two important classifications of weathering processes exist â physical and chemical weathering; each sometimes involves a biological component. Mechanical or physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through direct contact with atmospheric conditions, such as heat, water, ice and pressure.
As you can see from the above, clay minerals and oxide minerals (including quartz) are the most common byproducts of chemical weathering. Thus clay minerals and quartz are the most abundant contributors to clastic sediment and soil.
