What is organic activity mechanical weathering?
yes
Lichens and mosses produce weathering agents called?
organic acids
Which component of soil is not formed by the weathering of rocks?
The humus (organic component).
In the desert environment the chemical weathering in rocks is reduced because?
moisture is lacking and organic acids are scarce ;D
what is weathering rock fragments?
Weathering is the alteration of rocks to more stable material from their exposure to the agents of air, water, and organic fluids. ... Mechanical weathering includes processes that fragment and disintegrate rocks into smaller pieces without changing the rock's mineral composition.

What do you mean by weathering of organic matters?
I don't know because that is my question but no one will answer it.
What process breaks rocks into small pieces to become soil?
the process in which rocks are broken down into soil is, :weathering.
What process forms the decomposed organic material or humus that is a part of soil?
Erosion describes the process that forms the decomposed organic material that is called humus and that is part of soil. It operates by wearing down the material through weathering. The weathering reflects the predominant influences of water or of wind in nature.
Why rock is weathering reduced in deserts?
moisture is lacking and organic acids are scarce

How is chelation responsible for weathering?
chelation is the break down of certain minerals in rock by chelating agents. chelating agents are organic acids released by the decomposition of organic matter in soil.
What are the six major causes of mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering - Disintegration - breaks down into smaller pieces, no new substance. Frost Action, Abrasion, Gravity, Organic Activity, Wetting and Drying, and Joint Sheeting are the six major causes of mechanical weathering.
what is weathering rock fragments?

Would you expect soil colour and structure to vary with depth?
It will vary from leaching, weathering, and accumulation of organic matter.
