Weathering is the process of disintegration and decomposition of rock materials at insitu place. Weathering
creates sediment
breaks down rock
causes heating and cooling
carries away fragments
<u>Explanation</u>:
Weathering occurs in three ways such as the physical weathering, chemical weathering and biological weathering. Physical weathering is the process of alternate heating and cooling of the rocks which includes block disintegration, granular disintegration and exfoliation, it is otherwise known as mechanical weathering. Solution, hydration, oxidation, hydrolysis and carbonation are chemical weathering. Breakdown of rocks due to plants and animals leads to breakdown of rocks is called biological weathering.
Shaping is a method of reinforcement with closer and closer approximations that lead to the desired behaviour. It means that you reinforce certain behaviours that are every time much closer and to the target behaviour.
