Share one example of how animals can cause weathering?

1 answer

Animals such as burrowing mammals like moles and groundhogs can cause weathering by digging tunnels and burrows in the soil. This activity loosens the soil and exposes it to erosion processes, leading to physical weathering as the soil is broken down and transported away by water or wind. Additionally, the movement of these animals can also disrupt the stability of rocks and soil, leading to further breakdown and weathering over time.
