Slate is primarily weathered through a combination of physical weathering processes, such as frost action and abrasion from wind-blown particles, as well as chemical weathering caused by reactions with water and acids. This can lead to the gradual breakdown of the mineral composition of slate, causing it to flake or crack over time.
