What type of weathering does plant cause?
Biological. General rule, anything alive which causes weathering is biological weathering.
What is plant waethering?
Plant weathering is when seeds drop in rock/germinate the rock will expand in width.
What plants help in weathering of rocks?
one of it is the lichen plant
The growth of plant roots and animal activity may result in .?
mechanical weathering
Mechanical Weathering?
In mechanical weathering, rocks are broken down into smaller pieces without changing their composition. Mechanical weathering is caused by freezing and thawing, release of pressure, plant growth, action of animals, and abrasion.
Do plant roots cause mechanical weathering?
Plant roots cause Biological weathering which is indeed Mechanical in its nature. Animals burrowing is also a cause of Biological weathering.
What is the result of all mechanical weathering and why is it important?
The end result of mechanical weathering is smaller rock particles. The breakdown of rock into smaller and smaller particles is important because it provides material and nutrients in soils on which most land plant growth relies. We, in turn, rely on plant organisms as part of the food chain.
What type of weathering does plant cause?
Biological. General rule, anything alive which causes weathering is biological weathering.
What kind of plant causes mechanical weathering of a rock?
any plant
Is moss chemical or mechanical weathering?
Moss is biological weathering, actually, because it involves a plant.
What are the cause and effect of the weathering and erosion?
what are some causes and effects of weathering
Freezing and thawing plant roots exfliation and are all examples of what process?
Physical weathering or mechanical weathering.
How can nature change the rock cycle?
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.

Why a food chain needs a plant?
the food chain needs plant because the animals eat plants
In a food chain a plant is always a what?
A plant is a producer.
