Plants roots are surprisingly strong. They can break into rocks with there roots and break them apart.
What else can I help you with?
How do plants and roots effect weathering?
Plants and roots play a role in weathering by physically breaking apart rocks as their roots grow and expand, causing root wedging. Additionally, plants secrete acids that can chemically weather rocks and minerals. Overall, the presence of plants and roots can accelerate weathering processes on rocks and contribute to soil formation.
What is the effect of shaking rocks in water?
There is no immediate effect if the rocks are hard and solid.
What effect do plants have on rock?
Certain plants are able to get their roots into cracks in rocks. As the plant grows, the thickening roots may force the crack to widen. That, and the expanding ice in winter, may crack the rock wide open.
How rocks weathered in plants?
plants can cause the weatering of the rock plants may grow on the rock the minerals of rocks are used by the plants
How are rocks and plants connected?
Plants rely on rocks for nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which they absorb through the soil. In turn, plants help break down rocks through processes like root penetration and erosion. Additionally, plants play a role in weathering rocks by releasing organic acids that can break down minerals in the rocks over time.
Do plants contain rocks?
No
Do rocks turn into plants?
No

Can erosion effect water animals and plants?
No, I personally do not think so. Erosion only causes rocks and cliffs to wear away and the wind grinds them into sand.
What sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of plants and animals?
Sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of plants and animals are called organic sedimentary rocks. Examples include coal, formed from the remains of plants, and limestone, formed from the shells of marine organisms.
What respire reptiles or rocks or plants or mammals?
All except rocks.
Why do plants struggle to grow in hard rocks?
because the rocks are hard and the plants can't mack their roots to go throw them
