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 type of weathering does plant cause?
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.
What are 3 causes of biological weathering?
One cause of biological weathering is through the organism lichens. Other types are caused by plants, animals, and exposure to acids.
What us biological weathering?
What is biological weathering
Do plant roots cause mechanical weathering?
Yes, plant roots can cause mechanical weathering by exerting pressure on rocks as they grow and expand, leading to the breakdown of the rock material. This process is known as root wedging and can contribute to the disintegration of rocks over time.
Are humans the main cause of weathering?
No, humans are not the main cause of weathering. Weathering is predominantly caused by natural processes such as erosion, temperature changes, and biological activity. However, human activities such as deforestation and construction can accelerate the rate of weathering in certain areas.
What are the similarities between biological weathering and chemical weathering?
Weathering is weathering, no matter how it occurs. Both chemical and biological weathering wear down rock. They simply go about it in different ways.

What are the three major categories of weathering?
-Mechanical weathering -Chemical weathering -Biological weathering
What two natural events may cause a fossil to be altered?
Erosion and/or weathering (physical,chemical,biological).
What type of weathering involves the reaction of material with natural or biological chemicals?
both chemical and biological weathering
What form of weathering is caused by plants and animals?
Biological weathering
