How do plants or animals weather rocks?

Weathering is the breakdown of a rock into smaller particles. Acids from animal waste and even the movement of rocks from an animals locomotion can contribute to weathering. Some marine organisms can create chemicals which chemically attack rock causing dissolution.

What rocks was formed skeleton and shells of sea animals and plats in the ocean?

limestone. A rock made up mainly of the shells or fragments of shells of megascopic (clams, oysters, snails) animals is a coquina. If the rock is composed of the shells (tests) of microscopic plants and animals it may be called chalk. Limestone can be a hardened chemical precipitate of CaCO3 without an organic source, and take many forms: oolite for example.


What are Organic rocks made from dead plants and animals?

Soil is made up of a mixture of decayed organic material, living organisms, and minerals. The organic materials come from dead plants like banana peels and last year's leaves. The living organisms range in size from moles to microscopic bacteria. The minerals come from the rocks underground, which are classified as bedrock. Soil is made up of many layers. This is because plants grow on top of the soil and rocks are found underground. The type of soil that forms in a region will depend upon the climate, the bedrock underground, or the plants growing there. Although all soils are made of these basic ingredients, there are many variations. In forests for example, the soil may be deep, rich, and may have a dark brown color. In sandy areas the soil will be dry with a dusty gray color. In tropical regions the soil is often very deep and bright red.
