The disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near earth's surface is known as?
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion
Four ways sediment can form?
sediment was formed by weathering and erosion in a source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, mass movement or glaciers which are called agents of denudation.
The breaking down and changing of rocks at or near earth's surface is called?
Weathering.
What is weathering due to repeated freezing and melting of water called?
chemical weathering
What is it called when water wind ice or heat breaks down rocks into smaller pieces?
It is called weathering.
Is there plant in the desert?
yes. they are called lichens. yes. they are called lichens.
Do lichens use chemical weathering?
Yes. Chemical weathering is performed by the fungal portion of a lichen symbiote (fungus and autotrophic plant) to anchor itself to rock and sometimes to extract minerals. The rootlike structures called rhizines excrete dilute acids.

What chemical agents produce temporary disabling conditions that can be physical or mental after agent has ceased?
These substances are called pharmaceuticals drugs.

Why are mosses and lichens sometimes called poineer plants?
Because Lichens and Mosses grow on barren rocks and help in the formation of soil.
The process that breaks down rock and other materials at earth's surface is called?
It is called weathering. Erosion is the weathering and movement of rocks and rock fragments.
The breaking down and changing of rocks at or near earth's surface is called?
Weathering.
What kind of weathering is wind erosion?
This weathering is called ABRASION
What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes and nbsp?
what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
What plant produces acids that aid in chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering can also be caused by the acids produced by some plants. The simple plant, lichen, is an example. As lichens grown on the surface of rock, an acid is produced that dissolves some of the minerals in the rock. Lichen is often called a "pioneer" plant because it is one of the first plants to grow in a rocky area.
