Tree grow in the cracks of rocks. As the tree grows the roots largen and put a pressured force on the rock cracks causing the cracks to lengthen in size. The rocks start to weather away because of the force of the roots.
Yes, roots can break rock and animals can burrow. Also dead animal and plant matter can create acid groundwater which can cause chemical weathering.
Rocks can be weathered by there roots growing through it causing it to split
no thay don't because only things like water and ice and rocks and stuff like that
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.
Animal secrete acids and burrow into rocks and soil for shelter. Secreting acids cause chemical weathering. Animals burrowing causes mechanical weathering.
ture or false do plants and amimals can cause weathering
Biological weathering
Mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces by freezing and thawing,release of pressure, growth of plants, action of animals, and abrasion
One cause of biological weathering is through the organism lichens. Other types are caused by plants, animals, and exposure to acids.
acids and growth of plants' roots cause which type of weathering
acids and growth of plants' roots cause which type of weathering
Animals dig holes the dirt goes other places and that causes erosion. When coyotes howl, it can cause erosion by making rocks tumble Animals dig holes the dirt goes other places and that causes erosion.

Organic weathering is the breakdown of rocks by plants or animal action or by chemicals formed from plants and animals.
Three forces of mechanical weathering are ice, plants, and animals.
