acids and growth of plants' roots cause which type of weathering
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
•Organisms (especially plants) excrete acids both to extract nutrients and to build roots •Cause rock weathering
Animal secrete acids and burrow into rocks and soil for shelter. Secreting acids cause chemical weathering. Animals burrowing causes mechanical weathering.
One cause of biological weathering is through the organism lichens. Other types are caused by plants, animals, and exposure to acids.
Ice, water, wind, plants, acids, oxygen, gravity (falling and breaking).
Plants can cause mechanical weathering by growing into cracks in rocks and breaking them apart as their roots expand. They can also cause chemical weathering by releasing acids and other compounds that break down the minerals in rocks.
No, plants can also cause chemical weathering. For example, some plants release acids that can break down rocks over time. Additionally, plant roots can grow into cracks in rocks, causing them to break apart.
ture or false do plants and amimals can cause weathering
yes
