Do gravity and ice cause mechanical weathering?
yes
Is glacier action chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering for example freeze-thew process or abrasion.
Is the acids from a plants' roots that break up rock an example of mechanical weathering?
mechanical weathering
Root pry is an example of this type of weathering.?
It is an example of mechanical or more specifically biomechanical weathering.
Abrasion is an example of mechanical weathering?
yes
Can gravity and ice cause mechanical weathering?
maybe
Do gravity and ice cause mechanical weathering?
yes

Mechanical weathering for example freeze-thew process or abrasion.
Landslides are formed by mechanical weathering caused by the force of?
gravity
How can gravity act as an agent of weathering?
If you drop a rock and it breaks into pieces, then that is an act of mechanical weathering.
Ice wedging is an example of which type of weathering?
Mechanical Weathering
Is the acids from a plants' roots that break up rock an example of mechanical weathering?
mechanical weathering
Is freezing and thawing chemical weathering or mechanical?
Freeze/thaw cycles are an example of mechanical weathering of rock.
Root pry is an example of this type of weathering.?
It is an example of mechanical or more specifically biomechanical weathering.
Abrasion is an example of mechanical weathering?
yes
Is mechanical weathering caused by?
Gravity plays a small part in mechanical weathering but temperature, weather, animals, plants, water and wind play much bigger parts.
Explain how a plant can break a rock?
Plants break rocks through a process called bioweathering. Plant roots can release chemicals that enhance weathering, while the physical force exerted by the roots as they grow can also help break apart rocks. Over time, this can contribute to the fragmentation of rocks into smaller pieces.
