How can animals cause mechanical weathering?
roots and diggingPlant roots break up rocks as they grow in search of water and nutrients. Animals that burrow in the ground expose rocks to the air where they can be further weathered.When animals die they produce acids which reacts with rocks causing them to break down or decay.
How animal act as agents of weathering?
Sometimes, activities of some animals include scratching the soil or digging, some small rocks may break into smaller particles. Thus making it fine and become a part of the soil.
Is limestone with holes mechanical or chemical weathering?
It depends on what is meant by 'holes'. Cavities in limestone may be caused by both mechanical and chemical weathering.
How do plants or animals weather rocks?
Weathering is the breakdown of a rock into smaller particles. Acids from animal waste and even the movement of rocks from an animals locomotion can contribute to weathering. Some marine organisms can create chemicals which chemically attack rock causing dissolution.
What type of animals cause population growth?
animals like u
What most common cause of chemical weathering?

What is most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
What gas causes chemical weathering?
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
Do animals have chemical weathering?
Have sex with it hard
How animals can cause weathering?
Animal secrete acids and burrow into rocks and soil for shelter. Secreting acids cause chemical weathering. Animals burrowing causes mechanical weathering.
Is carbonic acid in water an example of chemical weathering?
Carbon dioxide dissolved in water is a cause of chemical weathering.
Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
What are two agents of chemical weathering?
There are so many agents of chemical weathering. The two main agents that cause chemical weathering are acid rain and carbon dioxide.
What can cause chemical weathering?
Acid precipitation
