What is Weathering? Correct Answer Breaking up and disintegration of rocks
Breaking up and disintegration of rocks is known as weathering. Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.
