  • Biological Weathering: How Mosses & Lichens Break Down Rocks
    The contact of a rock with mosses and lichens is an example of biological weathering.

    Here's why:

    * Biological weathering is the breakdown of rocks due to the actions of living organisms.

    * Mosses and lichens are important agents of biological weathering. They produce acids that can dissolve rock minerals, and their roots can physically break down rock surfaces.
