What are the 3 agents of mechanical weathering?
What are three agents or causes of mechanical weathering?
Is mechanical weathering caused by ice and growing roots?
Yes. Mechanical weathering is the breaking of rocks into smaller rocks by physical means. Ice can do this in a process called ice wedging or frost wedging. Plants can do this by their roots growing into cracks in the rocks.
Is moss growing on the surface of rock producing pits in the rock chemical weathering?
yes
What is likely to be most affected by weathering caused by wind?
a plateau in a desert with only a few plants growing on it
How does weathering change erosion?
Weathering leaves more pieces behind, which eventually lets the rock stick the pieces back to itself, giving erosion a bigger job since the rock keeps growing.
What are the normal everyday mushroom that you see growing on the side of the sidewalk called?
dinner

How might the grass growing up through a crack on a sidewalk affect the side walk?
pringles
What is the length of one sidewalk square?
This probably varies from city to city, and building code to building code. When I was growing up in the city of Detroit, sidewalk squares were 5' x 5'.
How might the grass growing up through a crack in a sidewalk affect the sidewalk?
The roots of the grass may further widen the crack in the sidewalk as it grows, causing potential trip hazards. Additionally, as the grass grows, it can retain moisture which may lead to further deterioration of the sidewalk over time. If left unchecked, the grass can also make the sidewalk more slippery when wet.

How is mechanical weathering caused by ice and growing roots?
Mechanical weathering is caused by ice by water seeping into a crack in, say, a rock. The water then freezes, pushing the crack a little wider. And next time, even wider. And so on. This process is called ice wedging. Mechanical weathering is caused by growing roots in a similar way. The roots grow bigger and bigger. As they grow larger, they push the soil and anything inside it apart.
