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.
The susceptibility of the rock forming minerals to chemical weathering is dependent on the strength of the minerals chemical bonding within the crystal framework. Because of the strength of the silicon oxygen bond, quartz is quite resistant to chemical weathering.
