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.
Chemical weathering involves the change in the composition of rocks, often leading to a 'break down' in its form. This type of weathering happens over a period of time. The types of Chemical weathering are: Dissolution: This occurs when rainfall is slightly acidic and gases in the air are added to it. This consequent mix can cause solution weathering of rocks. Hydration: Hydration is a form of chemical weathering that involves the rigid attachment of H+ and OH- ions to the atoms and molecules of a mineral. Hydrolysis: This is a chemical weathering process affecting Silicate minerals. is a chemical weathering process affecting Silicate minerals. In such reactions, pure water ionizes slightly and reacts with silicate minerals. Oxidation: This occurs within the chemical environment and makes the rocks soft.
