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 type of weathering does plant cause?
Biological. General rule, anything alive which causes weathering is biological weathering.
Do slugs cause biological weathering?
no
How can biological weathering cause problems?
Weathering of any kind can sometimes cause problems, like erosion of topsoil. Biological weathering, where the weathering is caused by living things (plants and animals), can cause the same kinds of problems.
What are 3 causes of biological weathering?
One cause of biological weathering is through the organism lichens. Other types are caused by plants, animals, and exposure to acids.
What two natural events may cause a fossil to be altered?
Erosion and/or weathering (physical,chemical,biological).
What cause mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces by freezing and thawing,release of pressure, growth of plants, action of animals, and abrasion
Which is a cause of chemical weathering?
When the weather damages things such as acid rain, it is weathering. Acid Rain is chemical weathering because it is rain with the chemical acid in it and it can damage things like buildings, rocks and other objects. Other types of weathering are Physical Biological
What are the disadvantages of weathering?
The disadvantage of weathering is the deterioration of a surface.
How the human activities cause weathering of rocks and soil in logging?
I don't know.......my question is... how does erosion contribute to flooding?
Which is not a factor that affects the rates of weathering in rocks?
There are not many factors which do not affect weathering in rocks.Two factors do not affect weathering are:Wind, sea and river erosion does not have any impact. No erosive processes cause weathering directly. Glaciers, however, may influence the climate of a region to the extent that more freeze-thaw weathering occursThe rock cycle does not affect weathering. This includes all actions and movements of rocks, though uplift and fault movement may cause more exposure to weathering, which may increase the rate of weathering
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
