Any animal can contribute to rock weathering, simply by stepping on it, brushing up against it, clearing protective plant life away from it, etc. Of course, what type of rock it is would determine how much of an effect animals would have on it.
I think all animals can
We excavate them for many uses, we produce acid rain that erodes carbonate rocks, and we cut down forests, exposing rocks to weathering from rain and increased runoff.
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.

the dogs urine is acid which is a chemical and it can kill plants
Rocks may be broken physically into smaller pieces. They may also be broken as a result of change in chemical composition. The breaking down of rocks (either physically or chemically) at or near the earth's surface is called weathering. Rocks are weatherd in different ways such as: 1.Weathering of rocks by water 2. Weathering of rocks by the wind 3. Weathering of rocks by plants 4. Weathering of rocks by animals 5. Weathering of rocks by the people
High speed wind such as a tornado or cyclone can result in weathering of rocks. weathering of rocks make the huge rocks into stones and then into pebbles and then gradually into sand.

Chemicals react with rocks and minerals or dissolve rocks and minerals.
Soil doesn't really contribute to the breaking down of rocks soil is the end product of the breaking down of rocks. Rocks are broken down by weathering processes such as physical weathering, chemical weathering or biological weathering the material after the rock breaks down combined with organic material creates soil.
They produce acids that can weather rocks and minerals that dissolves the rocks
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
When animals walk across them it can cause weathering.

Weathering is the breakdown of a rock into smaller particles. Acids from animal waste and even the movement of rocks from an animals locomotion can contribute to weathering. Some marine organisms can create chemicals which chemically attack rock causing dissolution.
Organic weathering is the breakdown of rocks by plants or animal action or by chemicals formed from plants and animals.

Animals cause mechanical weathering in various ways. One of the common ways is by stepping on rocks with their hooves and breaking them down.
