How does air in living things cause chemical weathering?
It doesn't. If it is IN a living thing it is not available to cause weathering elsewhere!
Do mountain rocks cause chemical or mechanical weathering?
No, they don't. Rocks don't cause weathering at all. They are the things which get weathered.
What type of weathering do you see in florida?
I looking at this for hw right now and I'm currently on physical weathering. I have found things such as weathering of sand and rocks along the coast lines due to salt crystallization. Rocks in the ocean are smoothed out and crushed by the constant motion of the ocean. And cliff sides are deteriorated and smoothed out in pieces by waves slamming against them.
When does weathering occur?
There are two types of weathering that occur: chemical weathering and physical weathering. One example of physical weathering is crushing a rock with a hammer. An example of chemical weathering is acid rain where the material is chemically broken down because of the rain's acidity.
What are some ways weathering can happen?
Weathering can happen with wind,water,ice,living things,and chemicals.

What living things attaches to rock and cause chemical weathering?
Lichen.
Which is a cause of chemical weathering?
When the weather damages things such as acid rain, it is weathering. Acid Rain is chemical weathering because it is rain with the chemical acid in it and it can damage things like buildings, rocks and other objects. Other types of weathering are Physical Biological
Mechanical, chemical, and biological weathering?
Mechanical- Physical breaking down of rock, wind and rainChemical- Breaking down of rock by substances. Acid rainBiological- Breaking down of rock by living things, burrows from
What are the basic chemical principles that affect living things?
In the 1700s, scientists discovered the chemical and physical basis of living things, and soon they realized that the chemical organization of all living things is remarkably similar. Microorganisms, as forms of living things, conform to this principle and have a chemical basis that underlies their metabolism.
Do mountain rocks cause chemical or mechanical weathering?
No, they don't. Rocks don't cause weathering at all. They are the things which get weathered.
What cause chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering of rocks is caused by a chemical reaction. Factors such as dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rocks are factors of chemical weathering.
What role does mechanical weathering have on chemical weathering?
there are not there are 2 different things
What are 2 agents of chemical weathering?
Well, three things that cause weathering are plant roots, ice, and physical stress.
How does climate effect weathering?
Mechanical weathering refers to weathering that causes physical erosion of exposed rock without changing its chemical composition. Climate helps promote or prevent things like frost and wind that create this form of weathering.

What is the current understanding of living organisms in modern biology?
living things are subjected to the same physical and chemical laws as nonliving things
