Explanation:
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. Other animals dig and trample rock aboveground, causing rock to slowly crumble.

Explanation:
Animals that burrow underground, such as moles, gophers or even ants, can also cause physical weathering by loosening and breaking apart rocks. Dens and tunnels are signs of this type of weathering. Other animals dig and trample rock on the Earth's surface, causing rock to slowly crumble apart.
A plant's roots grow into a crack in rock. As the roots grow larger, they wedge open the crack
