Explanation:
When chemical reactions change the chemical composition of a mineral then this process is known as chemical weathering.
In chemical weathering the particle become molecularly different from the original rock.
Chemical weathering occurs due to the process of dissolution or oxidation.
When chemical reactions does not change the chemical composition of a mineral then this process is known as mechanical weathering.
In mechanical weathering, the smaller particles molecularly remain similar to the original rock.
Mechanical weathering occurs due to the processes like frost-wedging and plant activity.
The minerals in a marble statue react with water to form acids and pores in the structure. Chemical weathering
A piece of rock crumbles after being constantly thrashed by strong waves. Chemical weathering
Industrial runoff forms cracks in a rocky structure in its path. Mechanical weathering
The rocks in a region are streaked orange after being exposed to repeated rains. Mechanical weathering
