Question

Explain the types of Biological Weathering.

Answer 1

Answer:

Living organisms can contribute to the process of weathering in many ways. Depending on the mechanism of how rocks and rock particles are broken down,

biological weathering is of two types: by physical means or by chemicals and organic compounds.

Biological weathering isn't really a process, but living organisms can cause both mechanical and chemical weathering to occur. For example: tree roots can grow into fractures in a rock and pry the rock apart, causing mechanical fracturing. Moss and fungus can also grow onto a rock.
