False, In a typical weathering sequence, rocks break down into secondary minerals which further undergo physical and chemical weathering to form primary minerals.
Weathering is the degradation of rocks, soil, and minerals as well as wood and man-made materials due to exposure to water, atmospheric gases, and biological organisms. Weathering occurs in situ (in situ, with little or no movement) and is therefore distinct from erosion, which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves, and gravity force.
Weathering processes are divided into physical and chemical weathering. Physical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks and soils by the mechanical action of heat, water, ice, or other agents. Chemical weathering involves the chemical reaction of water, atmospheric gases, and biological chemicals produced with rocks and soil. Water is a major contributor to physical and chemical weathering, although atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide and the activities of biological organisms are also important. Chemical weathering by biological action is also known as biological weathering.
