Fluvial Processes Weathering Processes Physical Weathering Breaks rocks down into smaller pieces by changes in temperature and by thawing water Chemical Weathering Happens when chemicals react with water, dissolving the rock and weakening it Biological Weathering The roots of plants, especially trees, and burrowing animals split the rocks apart.  Mass movement Rock Falls: Fragments of rock are continually weathered and eroded until they separate and fall from the cliff as whole parts. Slumping: The bottom of a valley side slope is cut away by the river flowing at its base making the slope unstable and weathered material slumps down towards the river. Slumping is also helped when the weathered material on the slope is saturated by heavy rain.
