Physical weathering . Physical weathering, also known as mechanical weathering, is the class of processes that causes the disintegration of rocks without chemical change.
Metamorphic rocks are the third great class of rocks. These are what happens when sedimentary and igneous rocks become changed, or metamorphosed ("changed in …
