The climate or the weather causes weathering. If you mean seeds, then ice, rain, snow, foot traffic, and stomach acid of animals weather the seeds. In turn, it makes sprouting easier. If you mean erosion in general, then ice, rain, melting snow, wind, human or animal traffic, avalanches, and underground aquifers could all be contributing factors.

Do plant roots cause mechanical weathering?
Plant roots cause Biological weathering which is indeed Mechanical in its nature. Animals burrowing is also a cause of Biological weathering.
How does air in living things cause chemical weathering?
It doesn't. If it is IN a living thing it is not available to cause weathering elsewhere!
How can biological weathering cause problems?
Weathering of any kind can sometimes cause problems, like erosion of topsoil. Biological weathering, where the weathering is caused by living things (plants and animals), can cause the same kinds of problems.
What are some things that can cause chemical weathering?
bob
What are two different things that cause weathering?
wind and rain
What living things attaches to rock and cause chemical weathering?
Lichen.
Do mountain rocks cause chemical or mechanical weathering?
No, they don't. Rocks don't cause weathering at all. They are the things which get weathered.
What two things can cause changes in the minerals making up rocks?
chemical weathering
Element of nature that can cause mechanical weathering by flowing over or carrying rocks along in a current?
Waves
Which is a cause of chemical weathering?
When the weather damages things such as acid rain, it is weathering. Acid Rain is chemical weathering because it is rain with the chemical acid in it and it can damage things like buildings, rocks and other objects. Other types of weathering are Physical Biological
How is earth science related to enviromental science?
They both have to do with nature and the things that affect/change it such as erosion and weathering.
What are three things that causes weathering?
There are three things that cause weathering in rocks. These factors are wind, plants, and water. Wind and water make the rock dissolve away. Plants can cause the rocks to crack.
