How does air cause chemical weathering?
It breaks rock apart.
What is the following causes of chemical weathering of rock and soil except?
sulfuric acid
What living things attaches to rock and cause chemical weathering?
Lichen.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What does mechanical weathering of rock mean?
any of the various weathering processes that cause physical disintegration of exposed rock without any change in the chemical composition of the rock
While physical weathering will break a rock into chunks what turns the rock into soil?
chemical weathering
How do mosses and lichen cause chemical weathering?
By they acid in the substances it weathers the rock away.
What are physical and chemical weathering?
Physical Weathering: is when a rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical Weathering: is when the rock change due to different chemical reactions.
Explanations of the three types of weathering?

How does weathering releases phosphate from rock?
Chemical weathering and physical weathering are two types of weathering involved in the phosphorus cycle. In chemical weathering, a chemical reaction causes phosphate rocks to break down and release phosphate into soil. Acid precipitation and the chemicals released by lichen can cause the chemical weathering. In physical weathering, processes like wind, rain, and freezing releases particles of rock and phosphate into the soil.
