Plants and animals can be agents of mechanical weathering. The seed of a tree may sprout in soil that has collected in a cracked rock. As the roots grow, they widen the cracks, eventually breaking the rock into pieces. Over time, trees can break apart even large rocks.

Answer:
Explanation:
Plants and animals play a significant role in weathering. Plants can break apart rocks through their roots as they grow, while animals like earthworms can mix the soil and bring minerals to the surface. Additionally, animals can contribute to chemical weathering by producing acids through their waste products. The actions of plants and animals can speed up weathering processes and help to create more fertile soil for other organisms to thrive.
