Answer 2

Answer:

some animals like living in the ground a dig borrows this process is called biological weathering.

Explanation:

Biological weathering is the weakening and subsequent disintegration of rock by plants, animals and microbes.

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.

By Plants:

• Plants can grow anywhere as long as there is water. Roots of trees or plants in general can biologically weather rocks by growing into the cracks and fractures of rocks and soil. As a result, they become more prone to breakage and eventually fall part.

By Animals:

• Burrowing animals like shrews, moles, earthworms, and even ants contribute to biological weathering. In particular, these animals create holes on the ground by excavation and move the rock fragments to the surface. As a result, these fragments become more exposed to other environmental factors that can further enhance their weathering.
• When animals like birds forage for seeds and earthworms, they create holes and erode the upper surface of the soil, thus, contributes to weathering.
• An animal called the Piddock shell can drill into rocks in order for it to protect itself. By producing acids that can disintegrate the rock and turn it into fragments, it can create cracks and fractures and eat the minerals found in it.
