Tree grow in the cracks of rocks. As the tree grows the roots largen and put a pressured force on the rock cracks causing the cracks to lengthen in size. The rocks start to weather away because of the force of the roots.

Why do many rocks become rounded?
Erosion and weathering will cause rocks to become rounded.
How do mosses and lichen cause chemical weathering?
By they acid in the substances it weathers the rock away.
What are the factors that cause igneous rocks to break down?
weathering, there are four types of weathering, chemical weathering, caused by acid rain, onion skin weathering, caused by change in temperature eg in the dessert it's boiling at day and freezing at night, freeze-thaw weathering, caused by water freezing and melting, expnding a crack inside a rock, and biological weathering, caused by plants and animals (including humans) eg walking on stone steps again will eventually wear it.
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of what?
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of mechanical weathering. It refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks.
