no definitive evidence exists to demonstrate a "first" plant, and as such it is impossible to answer this question.
Plant matter decomposes; rocks erode; both contribute to soil quality and type.
Cellulose gives strength and rigidity to plant cells.
I'm not for sure but I think its weeds
Biological waxes are typically esters of fatty acids and long chain alcohols. Mineral waxes are typically long-chain hydrocarbons lacking functional groups. Biological waxes are produced from plant material or derived from animal products - mostly bees and wool (lanolin). Mineral wax is from minerals or rocks and typically from petroleum (paraffin) or coal or polyethylene.
They produce acids that can weather rocks and minerals that dissolves the rocks
Lichens
human acid is caused by plant acids, known as the humic acids. Mosses and lichens provide a good example. As these three plants grow on rocks, they produce acids that, in turn, break down the minerals found within the rocks.
Tannic acid is a type of tannin that has a specific chemical structure, while tannin refers to a larger group of compounds found in plant tissues. Tannic acid is a more specific form of tannin with stronger astringent properties.
carbonic acids dissolve rocks, and caves from underground.
A. Absorb water and mineralsB. Holds the plant in placeC. Makes an acid that dissolves rocks
Chemical reactions of water, oxygen, and acids on rocks can eventually produce weathering, erosion, and ultimately, the breakdown of the rocks into smaller particles like sand, silt, and clay. This process, known as chemical weathering, leads to the formation of new minerals and soil over time.
organic acids are used from plant origin and anima orgin ....... mineral acids arew used from mineral rocks...
rocks
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.
Lichens and mosses secrete acids that break down the minerals in rocks, causing them to weaken and erode over time. This process is known as chemical weathering.
The answer to your question is: Natural acids chemically weather rocks, hope that helped....
