which of the following is a type of physical weathering?
hydrolysis of feldspar
oxidation of fe - bearing minerals
frost wedging
dissolution of halite
Physical weathering involves mechanical processes that break down rocks without changing their chemical composition. Frost wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks the rock apart. Hydrolysis, oxidation, and dissolution are chemical weathering processes as they involve chemical reactions that alter the rock's composition.
