What else can I help you with?
The actions of animals most commonly can cause the type of weathering know as?
Mechanical weathering
What cause mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces by freezing and thawing,release of pressure, growth of plants, action of animals, and abrasion
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.
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Does ice cause weathering?
Yes, mechanical weathering.
Which of the following is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering?
Temperature changes, such as freezing and thawing, is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering.
Do tornadoes cause mechanical or chemical weathering?
Mechanical.
What is a cause of mechanical 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
Animal burrows dug in rock that let in water and air chemical or mechanical?
Plant growth is both a chemical and mechanical process. The roots secrete mild acids that dissolve minerals in rocks, and the plant's roots and stems can increase in size and force rocks apart inside cracks and crevices.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
Is abrasion a cause of mechanical weathering?
yes
What cannot cause mechanical weathering?
Acid
