WEATHERING
Physical weathering: When rocks are broken into smaller pieces, but the chemical composition of the rock does not change.
Chemical weathering: When rocks are broken down by a chemical change. It depends on the type of rock. Acid and rain are big contributors to the change.
Biological weathering: When rocks are worn away by living organisms. This could happen if a tree root breaks through the ground, for example.
