Yes, lichens and moss that grow on boulders produce weak acid that dissolves rock surfaces, creating small depressions in the boulders.
It is a cause of both.
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
yes
The four forces that cause weathering are mechanical weathering (breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces), chemical weathering (alteration of rock composition through chemical reactions), biological weathering (breaking down of rocks by living organisms), and physical weathering (breaking down of rocks through physical processes like temperature changes and abrasion).
It causes chemical weathering because when it touches rocks, the rocks dissolve, forming caves.
Lichen.
Air in living things can cause chemical weathering through processes like respiration and decomposition. Living organisms release carbon dioxide and organic acids as byproducts, which can react with minerals in rocks, leading to chemical breakdown and weathering. This can weaken the rocks and make them more susceptible to erosion over time.
acids, air, water, oxidation, ground water, acid rain, and acid that comes from living things
When the weather damages things such as acid rain, it is weathering. Acid Rain is chemical weathering because it is rain with the chemical acid in it and it can damage things like buildings, rocks and other objects. Other types of weathering are Physical Biological
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.
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
It is a cause of both.
Chemical weathering can be caused by factors such as exposure to water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acids. Common processes that contribute to chemical weathering include hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. Additionally, the presence of certain minerals or vegetation can accelerate chemical weathering.
Chemical weathering does not cause physical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, while physical weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
