Physical Weathering

Physical Weathering is a geological process whereby rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller fragments without altering their chemical composition, distinguished from chemical and biological weathering by the absence of chemical transformation and the predominance of mechanical forces such as freeze-thaw cycles, thermal expansion, and abrasion.
