Types of weathering
Plants and animals can also break down earths surface. This is called biological weathering. Small animals burrow into the ground and plant roots break rocks also lichens can break down minerals.
Wind can weather down rocks as well. Wind carrying sediments can scrape off the edges of earths surface.
Water is one of the most common types of weathering the moving water crashing against the rocks will slowly wear the rocks down as shown above.
As you can infer from the picture above water had frozen inside the rock and expanded breaking the rock into smaller pieces.moving glaciers can also carve and break down rocks.
