What type f rocks come from living things?
the type of rocks that don't come from living things is .
Are rocks made out of matter that was never living?
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).
How do living organism contribute to the weathering of 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.
What are non living things such as rocks in the environment called?
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.
Which elements do living things have that volcanic rocks do not have?
Living things contain essential elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, which are crucial for the formation of organic molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. In contrast, volcanic rocks primarily consist of minerals and elements such as silica, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium. While some of these elements may be present in both living organisms and volcanic rocks, the specific combination and forms of carbon-based compounds found in living organisms are absent in volcanic rocks.
How can living things contribute to chemical weathering?
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.
living and non-living things in "Bushland"?
rocks, water, weather, climate, and natural events such as rockfalls or earthquakes.
How can acids from living things cause weathering?
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).
How does living things affect weathering?
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.
Do natural acids mechanically or chemically weather rocks?
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.
How do plants contribute to mechanical weathering?
They produce acids that can weather rocks and minerals that dissolves the rocks

Is there such thing as a living rock?
There are organic rocks derived from once living things, but there are no living rocks.
Can rocks change into a living thing?
No... No... No... and No...! Living things have got life but rocks dont.
What is a abiotic and biotic factor.?
Biotic factors are living things, like plants and animals. Abiotic factors are non-living things, like rocks and weather.
Do non living things affect living things?
Hardened rocks are not considered to be alive, and living beings (prisoners) break them into smaller rocks, so, yes, they do.
