Sometimes, activities of some animals include scratching the soil or digging, some small rocks may break into smaller particles. Thus making it fine and become a part of the soil.

What two agents of weathering would you rarely find in the desert?

Chemical weathering agents, such as acid rain, and biological weathering agents, such as plant roots, are less common in deserts due to the lack of moisture and vegetation in these arid environments. Wind and physical weathering, like abrasion and thermal stress, are more prevalent in desert weathering processes.


What do the agents of weathering do?

What are two agents of chemical weathering?

Two agents of chemical weathering are water and acidic compounds. Water can dissolve minerals and chemically react with rocks, while acidic compounds such as carbonic acid can break down minerals in rocks.


What is a type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock?

A type of opening along which weathering agents attack bedrock is a joint. Joints are fractures in the rock that provide pathways for water and other weathering agents to penetrate the bedrock, leading to physical or chemical weathering processes.


Explain how plants can act as agents of both mechanical and chemical?

Plants can act as agents of mechanical weathering through root growth that exerts pressure on rocks, causing them to break apart. They can also contribute to chemical weathering by releasing acids or organic compounds that break down minerals in rocks over time. These processes can help break down rocks and contribute to soil formation.
