indicate the possible time scales for each biological, physical and chemical weathering ?

OpenStudy (caominhim):

chemical could be minutes or hours, think of sugar in potassium chlorate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyaFVhC5VPk biological could be thousands of years like lichen on a rock, or just days like termites eating through a tree physical could be millions of years, like the Colorado river cutting out the Grand Canyon

OpenStudy (caominhim):

i realized you probably meant something more like oxidation for chemical weathering, which can take thousands of years as well
