Physical weathering refers to the breaking of rock into smaller pieces from nonchemical processes. This process occurs due to various physical forces such as temperature changes, freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion, and pressure release, which do not alter the chemical composition of the rock but instead fragment it into smaller particles.
