yes but he did leave
it cracks a rock by the roots reaching it and the longer you wait, the more it will crack until it finally just brakes
Thats Very False!! NOT TRUE!
no because it can use something else than the chemical weathering
Mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces by freezing and thawing,release of pressure, growth of plants, action of animals, and abrasion
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
4 main causes cause mechanical weathering!
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Yes, mechanical weathering.
Plant roots cause Biological weathering which is indeed Mechanical in its nature. Animals burrowing is also a cause of Biological weathering.
Weathering may occur through the actions of water, air, plants, animals and various chemicals. Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces without changing the composition of the minerals in the rock
Mechanical.
Tree roots can cause mechanical weathering. Roots will start to grow into cracks in rocks and eventually this will cause the rock to break apart. This is known as mechanical weathering.
