Animal

Ants, earthworm, moles, and


other burrowing animals dig
their habitats in the soil or
rocks. In this process, these
animals expose fresh rock
surfaces to different
weathering processes.
Chicken, dogs, wild animals,
and other animals scratch on
rocky surfaces and also
expose them to weathering
process.

Frost

The repeated freezing and


melting of water are called
frost wedging. Water sips into
the cracks and pores in rocks.
If the water freezes because of
very low temperature, it
expands and therefore breaks
the rock. Unlike other
substances, water expands
when water freezes.

Human

Human activities also cause


weathering of rocks which
include drilling, building
roads and tunnels, wells,
mining activities, and
quarrying. Huge pieces of
rocks are broken into smaller
pieces so that people could
use them.
