Examples of weathering include physical weathering caused by wind, water, ice, and temperature changes breaking down rocks into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering occurs when rocks are broken down by reactions with water, oxygen, or acids in the environment. Biological weathering is caused by living organisms such as plants and animals breaking down rocks through their roots, burrowing, or excretion.
