What is biological wheathering?
biological weathering is the process of animals digging under rocks and into cracks and the rocks undercut and cracks widen and then the rock is loosened up and broken up then the rock collapses and falls apart
How do cracks affect weathering rates of rocks?
How do cracks affect the rate of weathering
What happens when water freezes in the cracks in rocks. plant grow into the cracks in rocks?
The ice expands in the crack and may split the rock, as will eventually the roots of a plant.
Why do rocks have cracks?
Rain and running water can enlarge existing cracks in rocks through its erosive powers. Freezing water in a rock crack will expand, causing additional fracture.
Why does frost wedging weathers rocks?
It weathers rocks because the water enters through the cracks and therefore it expands the rocks
How do rocks change when water in them freezes?
As the water freezes in the cracks of rocks,the cracks expand. The process repeats itself and the rock eventually breaks.

Can rocks change into a living thing?

How does a sudden change in temperature break up rock?
in cold countries,water freezes inside cracks of rocks,expands,and causes rocks to break.
What happens first rocks break apart or water fills tiny cracks in rocks and freezes or ice pushes against rocks?
All rocks have cracks in them. If water fills the cracks and freezes, it expands and pushes the rock apart.
What are two ways than mechanical weathering changes rock?
Tree roots can grow in cracks of rocks and break the rocks. The rocks of mountains change due to many kinds of 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.
Do plants and animals cause weathering?
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.
How do cracks affect weathering rates of rocks?
