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 changes the composition of rocks, often transforming them when water interacts with minerals to create various chemical reactions. Chemical weathering is a gradual and ongoing process as the mineralogy of the rock adjusts to the near surface environment.ithin the weathering environment chemical oxidation of a variety of metals occurs. The most commonly observed is the oxidation of Fe 2+ (iron) and combination with oxygen and water to form Fe 3+ hydroxides and oxides such as goethite, limonite, and hematite.
