The acids chemically weather rock by breaking up their chemical composition, which eventually causes the rock to lose mass by decomposition.
the type of rocks that don't come from living things is .
Some rocks are made of matter that was never living (e.g. meteoric rocks, igneous rocks, moon rocks) and some rocks are made of matter that was once part of living things (e.g. limestone rocks, marble rocks, iron ore rocks) and some rocks might be a mixture of matter that was never living and matter that was once part of living things (e.g. sandstone rocks, mudstone rocks, shale rocks, slate rocks).
Living organisms contribute to rock weathering through processes like root penetration, burrowing, and organic acid release. Plant roots can physically break apart rocks as they grow, while burrowing animals can create spaces for water and air to enter, accelerating chemical weathering. Additionally, microorganisms release acids that can dissolve minerals within rocks, speeding up weathering.
Non-living things such as rocks in the environment are called abiotic components. These elements do not have life or biological processes like living organisms.
rocks
Living things can contribute to chemical weathering by secreting organic acids that can break down minerals in rocks, roots of plants can physically break apart rocks, and by facilitating the growth of mosses and lichens that produce acids that break down rocks.
rocks, water, weather, climate, and natural events such as rockfalls or earthquakes.
Weather has a huge impact on non-living things. A place that has a lot of rain will likely erode rocks in the area for example.
Acids "eat into" rock minerals particularly those that are alkaline (limestone). Living things produce substances that can turn into acids such as the carbon dioxide they breath out (which forms Carbonic Acid). Further organic material decays to produces organic acids (for instance the rotting of moss in a peat bog acidifies the water in it).
Natural acids chemically weather rocks by reacting with minerals in the rock, causing them to break down. Mechanical weathering involves physical processes like freezing and thawing, which cause rocks to break apart without altering their chemical composition.
They produce acids that can weather rocks and minerals that dissolves the rocks

There are organic rocks derived from once living things, but there are no living rocks.

No... No... No... and No...! Living things have got life but rocks dont.
Biotic factors are living things, like plants and animals. Abiotic factors are non-living things, like rocks and weather.
Hardened rocks are not considered to be alive, and living beings (prisoners) break them into smaller rocks, so, yes, they do.
