In cold climates, frost wedging is a common type of physical weathering where water gets into cracks, freezes and expands, causing the rock to break apart. Hydrolysis and oxidation are chemical weathering processes which require warm and wet conditions. Dissolution is also a chemical weathering process but is more common in areas with lots of rainfall and mild temperatures.
