Freeze thaw weathering
Water enters cracks in the rock
When the temperature drops, the water freezes and expands and causing the crack to widen
The ice melts and water makes its way deeper into the cracks
The process repeats itself until the rock splits entirely
Biological weathering
Plant roots can get into small cracks in the rock
As the roots grow, the cracks become larger
This causes small pieces of rock to break away
Chemical weathering
Rain and seawater can be a weak acid. The rocks can become dissolved by the acid in water
Rockfall - Bits of rock fall off the cliff face
Mudflow - saturated soil flows down a slope
Landslide - large rocks slide downhill
Rotational slip - saturated soil slumps down a curved surface
