which factor contributes to both chemical and mechanical weathering? abrasion freezing oxidation water

Answer

# Brief Explanations: Water can cause mechanical weathering through processes like freeze - thaw (water freezes and expands in cracks). It can also cause chemical weathering as it can dissolve minerals and participate in chemical reactions such as hydrolysis. Abrasion is only mechanical weathering, freezing is mainly mechanical weathering, and oxidation is a chemical weathering process. # Answer: D. water
