Biological. General rule, anything alive which causes weathering is biological weathering.
It is a cause of both.
Root wedging is caused by physical weathering, where plant roots grow into cracks in rocks and exert pressure as they expand, gradually breaking the rock apart.
Plant growth is both a chemical and mechanical process. The roots secrete mild acids that dissolve minerals in rocks, and the plant's roots and stems can increase in size and force rocks apart inside cracks and crevices.
differential weathering
Plant weathering is when seeds drop in rock/germinate the rock will expand in width.
acids and growth of plants' roots cause which type of weathering
acids and growth of plants' roots cause which type of weathering
Yes, plant roots can cause mechanical weathering by exerting pressure on rocks as they grow and expand, leading to the breakdown of the rock material. This process is known as root wedging and can contribute to the disintegration of rocks over time.
chemical weathering
Sunlight and wind can cause weathering.
Mechanical weathering
Cells
Nn
factors that cause weathering are erosion and water
Water causes mechanical and chemical weathering.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
Some are water,ice,and plant growth your welcome ☺❤
