Lichen produce acids that can slowly break down rock in the process of?
Lichen produce acids that can slowly break down rock through a process called chemical weathering. This process involves the acids in the lichen secreting chemicals that react with minerals in the rock, causing it to break down over time.
What kind of weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind water and temperature?
Mechanical weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind, water, and temperature. These forces physically break down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. Examples include freeze-thaw weathering, abrasion, and exfoliation.
What are four different type of weathering that can happen without the present of water?
Four types of weathering that can occur without water include mechanical weathering caused by temperature changes, chemical weathering due to oxygen in the air, biological weathering from plant roots and burrowing animals, and physical weathering caused by wind abrasion.
What are the 3 factors that affect weathering?
The three factors that affect weathering are mechanical weathering (physical breakdown of rocks), chemical weathering (chemical changes in rocks), and biological weathering (weathering caused by living organisms).
What kind of weathering occur on the moon?
Weathering on the moon is mainly caused by impacts from meteoroids and solar radiation. These factors break down the surface rocks into smaller particles over time. There is no significant liquid water or atmosphere on the moon, so processes like frost weathering or chemical weathering are minimal.
Does lichen cause chemical weathering?
No, Lichen is caused by clean air meaning where ever there is Lichen in that area the air is clean and not polluted.
What kind of weathering is caused by acidic rainwater?
Erosion I think :-)

What living things attaches to rock and cause chemical weathering?
Lichen.

Is lichen a kind of coral?
Lichen is not a kind of coral. However, if you have learnt rainforests which I have, Lichens are a type of fungus.
How do mosses and lichen cause chemical weathering?
By they acid in the substances it weathers the rock away.
What organism lives in the cracks of rocks and starts weathering?
i need to know the answer nor answer it
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 is an example of biological weatheing?
Lichen EDIT: Lichen is not so much an example of biological weathering, as a cause. When Lichen grows on rocks it releases chemicals which dissolve the rock. This can be seen in rocks which appear to be covered in flakes of rock.
What kind of weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind water and temperature?
Mechanical weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind, water, and temperature. These forces physically break down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. Examples include freeze-thaw weathering, abrasion, and exfoliation.
What plant produces acids that aid in chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering can also be caused by the acids produced by some plants. The simple plant, lichen, is an example. As lichens grown on the surface of rock, an acid is produced that dissolves some of the minerals in the rock. Lichen is often called a "pioneer" plant because it is one of the first plants to grow in a rocky area.
