Small mammals can cause weathering through their burrowing activities, which disrupt the soil and rock layers. As they dig tunnels for shelter and food, they expose subsurface materials to air and moisture, facilitating chemical weathering processes. Additionally, their movements can break down larger rocks into smaller particles, contributing to physical weathering. This natural activity helps to enhance soil formation and nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
it erodes the brick leaving small holes in the brick how does water cause weathering of a brick?
Ferret cage category might be under small mammals, small animals or exotic animals
Strong winds can cause weathering by physically breaking down rocks and carrying away the small particles. As the wind carries sand and other debris, it can abrade and erode exposed surfaces of rocks over time. This process is known as abrasion.
I have no idea but someone might
Herons usually don't eat small mammals, really. They prefer fish and insects over mammals.
They eat small mammals more coz i dont think they can eat and find massive or big mammals.
Wind can be really strong and if any small debris or other small rocks are near, they can be wiped against it and cause parts of the bigger rock to chip off.
No, they were comparatively small, but they might have caused tremors.
Yes, I think so. They might not, but I am most positive they do.
small, usually rat-like creatures in the prehistoric age

Wind is an agent of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller particles. Wind moves small rock particles against other rock surfaces, weathering them. Wind will also drive water deeper into fissures, which could then freeze, causing further weathering. Wind can also cause greater wave action on shorelines, increasing weathering.
