True. Plants can break rocks apart through a process called biological weathering. Their roots can penetrate cracks in rocks, gradually widening them as the roots grow and exert pressure, ultimately causing the rocks to fracture and break apart. This process contributes to soil formation and the alteration of landscapes over time.
What else can I help you with?
True or false do plants and amimals can cause weathering?
ture or false do plants and amimals can cause weathering
Plants can only cause mechanical weathering?
Thats Very False!! NOT TRUE!
true or fale the freezing and thawing of rocks cracks and breaks rock. this is a mechanical type of weathering?
True. The freezing and thawing of water in cracks and pores of rocks exerts pressure that can cause rocks to crack and break apart. This is known as frost wedging and is a type of mechanical weathering.
Water works to expand joints in rocks because it expands as it evaporates true or false?
No. Water expands when it freezes, causing the rocks to crack and break.
Is it true or false that Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a material's size or shape is changed.?
False. Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which the physical properties of a material are altered without changing its chemical composition. This can include changes in size, shape, or texture.
Chemical weathering cannot alter a rock's chemical makeup true or false?
False
What True or false the most important agent of chemical weathering is abrasion?
False. The most important agent of chemical weathering is water, through processes such as hydration, dissolution, and oxidation. Abrasion is a physical weathering process caused by friction and impacts between rock surfaces.
Does weathering happen when bits of rock are moved by water or ice?
Yes, weathering can occur when bits of rock are moved by water or ice. This process, known as physical weathering, includes erosion caused by the abrasion of rock surfaces by sediment being transported by water or ice. Over time, this movement can break down rocks into smaller pieces.
Achebe is from Algeria true or false in things fall apart?
false
The breaking down and wearing away of the earth's rocks by the atmosphere is called oxidation?
Actually, the process of breaking down and wearing away of the Earth's rocks by the atmosphere is called weathering. Oxidation specifically refers to a type of chemical weathering where minerals in rocks react with oxygen.
Erosion differs from weathering in that earth material is transported true or false?
True.
Does chemical weathering changes rocks into new substances?
