Weathering is the "breaking down" of rock materials at or near the surface of the Earth chemical weathering is the decomposition of materials resulting in the formation of new minerals or substances--new materials form through removal of or additions to the weather substance physical or mechanical weathering is the disintegration of materials in which no new minerals or substances are formed both chemical and physical weathering processes can affect a rock material to contribute to the overall breakdown 2.
