Mechanical Weathering	Chemical Weathering
1. It is also called physical weathering.	1. Chemical weathering includes the processes that cause rock to rot or decay due to the action of air and water on the minerals present in the rock.
2. It is responsible for the disintegration of rocks without changing their chemical compositions.	2. High temperatures and humidity caused the rock to decompose.
3. It is caused mainly by changes in temperature and the pressing action of water.	3. Chemical weathering results from the action of weak acids and gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
4. It is physical to break up rocks owing to internal and external stresses caused by weathering agents.	4. It is the process which leads to the decomposition or decay of solid rocks as a means of chemical reaction.
