Hi There!
Here's your answer!
Biological weathering is a very common type of weathering that we see around us. There are many small animals that bore hole in the rock and live inside it. Over the time, they burrow and widen cracks and end up breaking rocks apart. Then there are bacteria, algae and lichens produce chemicals that help break down the rock on which they survive, so they can get the nutrients they need. They produce weak acids which convert some of the minerals to clay. We, humans, are also responsible for biological weathering. As we construct more homes, industries, dams, power plants, roads, we rip the rocks apart.
