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.
This process can be further subdivided into two categories: physical/mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the processes by which rocks react with the atmosphere to form new substances. These reactions can alter a rock and transform the rock into sand, clays, and other minerals. CHEMICAL WEATHERING. Like mechanical weathering, there are several different types of chemical weathering. One type is oxidation, the reaction of oxygen with iron-bearing minerals in rock. In an oxidation reaction, the iron atom loses electrons and precipitates as another mineral.
