- They don't grow or live on all rocks. The only time that mosses will grow on rocks is if those rocks are wet with moisture all the time. If they (the rocks) are not wet with moisture all the time, moss will not grow on them. Moss also grows on the north-side of trees, since that is the wettest part of the trees, and because the sun does not get at the north-side of the trees, thus being unable to dry that moist area up.

What are the three different classes of moss?
Peat mosses, true mosses, and rock mosses
Contact of a rock with mosses and lichens is an example of what type of weathering?
Contact of a rock with mosses and lichens is an example of biological weathering, where living organisms break down the rock through their physical or chemical actions. The roots of mosses and lichens can penetrate cracks in the rock surface, causing it to break down over time.
How many tons of rock can a dump truck hold?

What organisms grow on rock or exposed soil?
Mosses and Lichens, and possibly mushrooms
How much area does a dump truck load of rock cover?

How do mosses and lichen cause chemical weathering?

Which species are able to live on bare rock?
Certain species, such as lichens, mosses, and some types of algae, can thrive on bare rock surfaces. These organisms are often pioneer species, capable of surviving harsh conditions with minimal nutrients. They help initiate soil formation by breaking down the rock over time, allowing other plants to eventually establish. Additionally, certain hardy invertebrates, like some types of snails and insects, may also inhabit these environments.
