Physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock, while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions.
Explanation:
Chemical weathering happens when the chemicals get diluted and dissolved in water and seep and percolate down the rock surfaces.
Physical weathering happens when rocks are fragmented into minor fragments while ensuring no alterations in their chemical makeup. The main causes behind physical weathering include spontaneous fluctuations in temperature like too high or too low heat or cold
