â¢ Weathering can be physical, organic, or chemical whereas erosion is plain movement of rock pieces from one place to another. â¢ It is because of both weathering and erosion that we get to see new geological features. We cannot stop weathering from happening.
Physical weathering, also known as mechanical weathering, is the class of processes that causes the disintegration of rocks without chemical change. The primary process in physical weathering is abrasion (the process by which clasts and other particles are reduced in size). However, chemical and physical weathering often go hand in hand. Physical weathering can occur due to temperature, pressure, frost etc. For example, cracks exploited by physical weathering will increase the surface area exposed to chemical action, thus amplifying the rate of disintegration.
