What is biological wheathering?
biological weathering is the process of animals digging under rocks and into cracks and the rocks undercut and cracks widen and then the rock is loosened up and broken up then the rock collapses and falls apart
When rainwater seeps through cracks in rocks what is called?
When rainwater seeps through cracks in rocks, it is called infiltration.
What happens when water freezes in the cracks in rocks. plant grow into the cracks in rocks?
The ice expands in the crack and may split the rock, as will eventually the roots of a plant.
Why do rocks have cracks?
Rain and running water can enlarge existing cracks in rocks through its erosive powers. Freezing water in a rock crack will expand, causing additional fracture.
What type of rock can living things make prints in?
Living things can make prints in soft sedimentary rocks like mudstone or sandstone. These rocks are formed from layers of sediment that can easily capture and preserve the imprints of plants, animals, or even footprints.

Water freezes in the cracks in rocks. plants grow into the cracks in rocks?
cracks open wider
Can rocks change into a living thing?
No... No... No... and No...! Living things have got life but rocks dont.
Water freezes in the cracks of rocks and plants grow into the cracks of rocks what happens?
cracks open wider
How does a sudden change in temperature break up rock?
in cold countries,water freezes inside cracks of rocks,expands,and causes rocks to break.
What happens first rocks break apart or water fills tiny cracks in rocks and freezes or ice pushes against rocks?
All rocks have cracks in them. If water fills the cracks and freezes, it expands and pushes the rock apart.
What living organisms contribute to physical weathering?
Plants with their roots can contribute to physical weathering by breaking through rocks as they grow. Burrowing animals such as earthworms and rodents can also contribute by tunneling through the ground and breaking up rock particles. Ice wedging, where water freezes and expands in cracks in rocks, is another process of physical weathering caused by living organisms.
How do plants or animals weather rocks?
Plants weather rocks through root growth, where roots penetrate cracks in the rock causing physical weathering. Animals can weather rocks through activities like burrowing and digging, which can break apart rocks over time through mechanical weathering. Additionally, animal waste can contribute to chemical weathering by altering the composition of the rock.
What are two ways than mechanical weathering changes rock?
Tree roots can grow in cracks of rocks and break the rocks. The rocks of mountains change due to many kinds of weathering.
When rainwater seeps through cracks in rocks what is called?
When rainwater seeps through cracks in rocks, it is called infiltration.
What what are living in the forest?
Rocks,sun,water,
Do plants and animals cause weathering?
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.
