Why does biological weathering happen? Biological weathering occurs when plants break up rocks with roots or root exudates. Biological weathering increases with soil thickness until optima for biotic activity are reached, but decreases when soils get thicker and biotic activity has less influence on weathering. Is also know as onion peeling? Answer: Onion-Skin weathering is […]
What is AVT graph?
