What would not increase the effects of weathering and erosion?
trees and plants protect the earth from weathering and erosion
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.
Do plants cause the weathering of rocks?
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.

How does weathering and erosion affect living things?
Weathering and erosion can impact living things by altering their habitat. Excessive erosion can remove protective vegetation, leading to habitat loss for plants and animals. Weathering can also change soil composition and nutrient availability, which can affect the survival and growth of organisms.
What form of weathering is caused by plants and animals?
Biological weathering
The disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near earth's surface is known as?
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion
Is decaying plants dissolving minerals in rocks mechanical or chemical?
Decaying plants dissolve minerals in rocks through chemical weathering. As organic acids are released during decomposition, they react with minerals in the rock, causing them to break down chemically. This process contributes to the overall weathering and erosion of the rock over time.
How do living things impact weathering and erosion?
Living things can impact weathering and erosion in various ways. Plant roots can break rocks apart, promoting physical weathering. Animals can burrow into the ground, creating spaces for water to permeate, leading to chemical weathering. Moreover, plant cover can protect soil from erosion by wind and water.
Which type of weathering is caused by plants and animals?
hehehe
What is the weathering that is caused by plants and animals called?
Bioturbation
When rocks break down by weathering and erosion does it slowly create oxygen for plants?
Yes, it does. ;]
How do plants and animals cause weathering?
There are two primary effects: chemical weathering by acidic secretions, decomposition by-products etc; and wedging of fractured rockby tree-roots. Animals may also create minor, purely local soil erosion, though the so-called "sheep tracks" (miniature terraces)on steep hillsides are formed by soil-creep, not trampling.
